DIRECT THE DECAY

From forgotten
to otherworldly.

Age adds pitting and roughness, with oxidation on metals. Grime darkens broad patches. Moss adds green growth and surface detail. Moisture darkens the material and lowers roughness. Supernatural Glow reveals its veins, fissures or decorative patterns.

These are artistic procedural masks. Relief uses bump; the controls do not simulate erosion or automatically detect geometry-facing dirt and moss.

A WORLD TO OPEN AND EXPLORE

Enter the sanctuary.

The furnished ruined-cathedral scene brings the library together: clustered columns, vault ribs, a rose window, detailed stained glass, banners, an ornate shrine, candles, ivy and rubble.

Both original stained-glass images are packed into the Blender file. The scene is a Cycles showcase for the materials, rather than an optimized game level.

BEFORE YOU OPEN THE FORGE

A few things to know.

Which Blender version do I need?

Created and tested in Blender 5.2.0 LTS. No add-ons are required. The materials were appended into a clean file and rendered in Cycles and Eevee. The cathedral is designed for Cycles. Earlier Blender versions are not verified.

How do I install the materials?

Extract the entire ZIP. In Blender, open Edit → Preferences → File Paths → Asset Libraries and add the extracted Blender folder. Choose the library in an Asset Browser and drag a material onto a mesh. Adjust the FORGE CONTROLS node in the Shader Editor. The included illustrated guide walks through setup.

Can I use the maps in a game engine?

The PNGs are fixed planar snapshots of the supplied presets. Borders are not guaranteed seamless. The procedural graphs are Blender-specific; Unity and Unreal integration has not been tested. BaseColor and Emission are 8-bit sRGB. Roughness, Metallic, Height and NormalGL are 16-bit linear data. The guide documents color spaces, the OpenGL normal convention and emission intensity.

What does commercial use cover?

Use and modify the assets in personal and commercial games, films, animations and finished artwork. Attribution is optional. Standalone asset redistribution and competing asset-pack resale are excluded. Read the full license.

How were the images and assets made?

The material and scene previews on this page are actual renders of the supplied Blender files. The cover below is original generated promotional concept art. The two stained-glass images are generated artwork used as actual packed textures. Shader graphs, geometry, code and documentation were created with AI assistance and tested in Blender.

What was tested?

268 recorded Blender checks passed, including 60 independently rendered comparisons across the five controls on all twelve materials. All three Blender files reopened successfully. PNG dimensions, bit depths and normal encoding were checked. The ZIP passed CRC and member-hash verification.
