About this texture

Crushed Eggshell Lacquer: finish and surface detail

Small ivory fragments form irregular islands in a dark binder, with very fine seams inside each cluster.

Where to use this material

Decorative boxes, cabinet inserts and lacquered wall samples. Keep a separate trim mesh where the panel ends.

Keep the finish believable

Keep the surface relatively flush and let color define the fractured islands. The map does not specify the lacquer chemistry or production method.

Texture scale and UV repeats

A 30 cm repeat lets each island occupy a small portion of a cabinet door. Offset it between panels and avoid a continuous tiled wall of identical islands.

The example uses 0.3 m per full texture tile. This is an illustrative UV scale, not a measured physical capture. Inspect the repeat at your actual camera distance before covering a large surface.

Set up Crushed Eggshell Lacquer in Blender

Connect albedo.png to Base Color using sRGB. Use roughness.png and normal-gl.png as Non-Color data. Route the normal through a Normal Map node, starting at strength 0.46. Set metallic to 0. The downloadable scene packs all three images.

The base color is AI-generated, and normal and roughness are estimates. The material changes surface shading; it does not add silhouette geometry. The pack has no displacement, AO or metallic image. For an engine expecting DirectX normals, use an image editor to invert the normal map’s green channel. Follow the Blender texture setup guide for the node connections.

Crushed Eggshell Lacquer: common questions

What distinguishes it from terrazzo?

The fragments read as clustered eggshell splinters with very fine fissures and larger dark lacquer fields between clusters.

Do the gaps need depth?

Keep the normal subtle for a sealed lacquer. Model any exposed edge or chipped corner that needs visible depth.

Browse the wall texture library, the existing material library, or use the tile and offset checker to inspect repetition.
