40 Lace Fabric Trim Texture + SBSR — VOL 04

This is the volume the lace trims began with, published at the end of 2021 and still the broadest of them. Forty border textures cover the repeating strip work that edges a garment or a soft furnishing, and eight trim sheets group several bands onto one map for artists working to a texture budget. Two sample sets are published free, so tiling and contrast can be judged in your own renderer before any money changes hands.

Contents

• 40 trim and border texture sets
• 8 trim sheet texture sets
• 40 substance materials in SBSAR format
• Each set carries Normal, Height, Ambient Occlusion and Opacity
• Supplied in PNG and TIFF at 16-bit
• Preview renders for the collection

Opacity is what separates a lace texture from a fabric one. A border with no alpha is a bump map pretending to have holes; with the opacity map in the alpha slot the negative space is genuinely empty, light passes through it, and the silhouette against a background reads as thread rather than as a printed edge. Every set here was authored with that in mind, which is also why the Height map carries real relief instead of a flattened trace.

The SBSAR versions exist to save the wiring. Substance Painter, Designer and anything else that reads the format will take them directly, with the parameters that matter left exposed rather than baked down. Outside Substance, the raw 16-bit images drop into 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D or Marmoset without translation, which is the set of tools this pack was tested against.

One note about the presentation. The garment shown in the preview renders is Evgenia Petrova's model, used to photograph the trims in context, and it is not part of this download. What you are buying is the pattern work: forty borders and eight sheets, four channels each.
