DGruwier Real Carbon Fiber

This is a texture set derived from a scan of a real carbon fiber sample, particularly effective for close-up renders where a generated carbon fiber texture pattern won't cut it.

The carbon fiber sample that was scanned is a 12 centimeter 3k 2x2 twill weave prepreg veneer. The ~4k maps were extracted and edited by hand. With the included maps you can achieve various surface finishes, from raw fibers to compression molded with a clear coat.

Note:

• While this is a scan of real carbon fiber, the resulting maps were not scientifically calibrated or measured. The require some artistic interpretation to achieve a realistic look. The shader setup I used to render the promo images for the pack are is included as a Blender scene file.
• The texture maps tile, but repetition is sometimes visible across large flat surfaces. This is a consequence of optimizing the carbon fiber for close-up renders.
• This texture set requires a render engine that supports anisotropic reflections.
