Silver Koi Scales

How this texture was made

The scales generator tiles overlapping curved shapes in offset rows to produce the overlapping-scale pattern seen on fish, reptiles, and fantasy armour. Each scale is drawn as a convex shape anchored to a grid cell with a specific corner curvature.

Pale silver fish scales with soft rounded shapes and subtle shimmer. Ideal for koi fish textures, ornamental fish renders, and elegant aquatic creature designs.
