Plastics, Polymers & Composites

25 native PBR plastic, polymer and composite smart materials, numbered 76–100, exclusively for Materials+ subscribers.

Includes gloss and matte ABS, polycarbonate and clear polycarbonate, acrylic and frosted acrylic, translucent plastic, polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon, Bakelite, yellowed vintage plastic, toy plastics, electronics and controller housings, keyboard keys, carbon fiber, forged carbon, fiberglass, Kevlar, glass-filled nylon, resin, epoxy and FDM plastic.

Each material includes eight 2K PBR maps: full-color Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal, Height, AO, Emission and Opacity, plus three coordinated scuff maps. Eight editable controls adjust pigment, roughness, relief, pattern scale, edge polish, recess grime, scuffs and the relevant optical property or dust. Clear materials use native transmission and IOR; selected plastics use subsurface scattering. All remain dielectric, non-emissive and fully opaque in the opacity channel.

Bake Normal, AO, Curvature and World Normal before applying. Native layers and composed-normal anchors drive geometry-aware scuffs, polished edges, cavity grime and orientation-aware dust. Destination normal bindings follow rebakes. These use the same smart-material system as included materials.

Requires Open Painter 0.12.4 or later and Connect 0.2.1 or later. Install separately from the subscriber library; these assets are not bundled with the free addon. Clear and translucent materials require closed geometry with real thickness and correct physical scale.

Authored RGB PBR materials with individually generated imagegen sources resampled from 1254 pixels into 2K maps. Composite weave and FDM relief use coordinated physical data; the FDM tile represents 40 mm with 0.2 mm build layers. Native optical properties are preserved in smart-material files; configure them separately when exporting only textures. These are authored approximations, not measured spectral scans or volumetric resin simulations. See the included README for physical scales and optical setup.
