One repeat = 900 mm × 2.4 m
Every size on this page comes from the recipe the texture was generated from, not from measuring a photo. Set the texture size in your application to 900 mm × 2.4 m (0.9 m × 2.4 m) and every joint, board or chip comes out at its real size.

How to use it in Blender, SketchUp, Unreal and Twinmotion
The ZIP holds unpacked PNG maps and a README with the same numbers. The rules are the same everywhere: base colour is sRGB, every other map is linear (non-colour) data, the normal map is OpenGL style (+Y up), and one repeat is 900 mm × 2.4 m.
Blender (Principled BSDF)
- Base colour: Image Texture, Color Space
sRGB→ Base Color. - Roughness, metalness, AO and height: Image Texture, Color Space
Non-Color. - Normal:
Non-Color→ Normal Map node (Tangent Space) → Normal. OpenGL convention, so no green flip. - Scale with Object coordinates in metres: Mapping node Scale X =
1.1111, Y =0.4167(1 ÷ 0.9 m, 1 ÷ 2.4 m). - Height (optional): Displacement node with the Midlevel and Scale printed in README.txt.
SketchUp (with V-Ray or Enscape)
- Create a material from the base colour image and set its texture size to
900 mmwide ×2.4 mhigh (unlock the aspect ratio if they differ). - SketchUp itself shows only colour. Add the normal and roughness maps in the renderer's material editor, as data (not colour) maps.
- If the relief looks inverted in your renderer, flip the normal map's green channel there.
Unreal Engine
- Base colour: sRGB on.
- Normal: turn Flip Green Channel on in the texture settings (Unreal expects DirectX-style normals).
- Roughness, metalness, AO: sRGB off, compression
Masks. - Unreal units are centimetres: one repeat is
90 × 240 cm(e.g. the Texture Size of a WorldAlignedTexture node).
Twinmotion
- Use a PBR material and assign the colour, normal, roughness and metallic images.
- Set the texture size to 0.9 m × 2.4 m so the pattern is at real scale.
- Twinmotion is built on Unreal Engine: if the relief looks inverted, invert the normal map's green channel.
Blender settings follow the package README. The SketchUp, Unreal and Twinmotion notes are standard settings that have not yet been checked in those applications with these files.
