Arare Cast Iron Metal
Arare cast iron originates from traditional Japanese casting, where molten iron fills moulds featuring a pattern of small, raised dots ('Arare'). This technique forms a durable iron object with a distinctive, uniformly textured surface that increases surface area, historically aiding heat distribution in items like 'tetsubin' kettles. The characteristic dark grey to black finish comes from high carbon content and subsequent seasoning.
Capturing traditional Japanese craftsmanship, this seamless 4K PBR texture set meticulously replicates the raised Arare hobnail pattern and subtle surface variations of cast iron. Presented in authentic dark tones, it is designed for visualising traditional cookware, historical artefacts, and richly textured metal surfaces in interior design renders, providing designers with culturally specific detail and enhanced tactile realism through its pixel level map accuracy.
Optimized for Metallic/Roughness workflows. (Note: For Specular/Glossiness workflow, simply invert the Roughness map inside your render engine).
These dimensions serve as guidance, ensuring realism and consistency. All assets are encouraged to be used flexibly and can be scaled accordingly to suit different scales or art-directed scenarios.
