AI Texture Generator — seamless textures for Blender, Unreal and Unity

A tool that makes texture images for 3D and games from a text prompt — stone, wood, metal, ground, fabric or sci-fi panels — usually as square tiles that repeat across a surface. On Kenerate AI you describe the material and ask for a “seamless tileable texture, top-down, flat even lighting”; the result is the colour (albedo) map of a material.

Partly. Kenerate's image models make the base colour map only. The free Normal Map Generator on Kenerate adds a normal map and a height map from that image, in your browser. Roughness, metallic and ambient occlusion maps are not made by Kenerate: use a free tool such as Materialize (Windows), paint them in an image editor, or bake AO in Blender. Any tool that guesses these maps from one picture is estimating — check them lit in your engine.

Ask for it in the prompt (“seamless tileable texture, edge to edge, no border”), keep the canvas square and the lighting flat, then prove it with the offset test: move the tile by half its width and height with wrap-around on. If a cross appears in the middle, clone over it or upload it and ask an edit model to remove the seam, then offset again. Our seamless pattern generator page walks through the test step by step.

Square power-of-two sizes — 1024, 2048 or 4096 pixels — are the usual choice for game textures, and the larger the surface is on screen, the bigger the tile it needs. Generate at 1K or 2K, or at 4K on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst or Nano Banana 2.1, and use the Image Upscaler for 4K or 8K. In Kenerate's tests the upscaler's 4K setting turned a square image into 4096 × 4096 pixels.

Qwen Image 3.0 is a free-plan model at 9 credits per image (1K or 2K). Recraft 20B is 6.6 credits. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst at medium quality is 7.2, 12 or 21 credits at 1K, 2K or 4K, plus 4.5 per reference image on an edit. Nano Banana 2.1 is 21, 31.5 or 42. The Image Upscaler is 3 credits at 2K, 4K or 8K, and the Normal Map Generator is free. New accounts get starter credits; packs are one-time and never expire.

Add an Image Texture node with the colour map into the Base Color of a Principled BSDF. Add the normal map as a second Image Texture set to Non-Color, run it through a Normal Map node into Normal — Blender uses the OpenGL convention, so export the normal map as OpenGL (Y+). Use the height map through a Bump node, or as displacement on a subdivided mesh.

Import the colour map into Base Color of a material and the normal map into Normal. Unreal uses the DirectX convention, so pick DirectX (Y−) in the Normal Map Generator. Epic describes Base Color as the surface colour without lighting or shading, which is why the texture prompt asks for flat, even light and no shadows.

Yes. Upload the photo to Image Studio, pick GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst or Nano Banana 2.1 and ask it to “remove the shadows, highlights and perspective, keep the material, colours and pattern, make the edges tile seamlessly”. Edit models redraw the image, so compare it with the photo and run the offset test before you use it. Only use photos you took or have the rights to.

Not directly. Kenerate's image models make flat texture tiles, not textures painted onto your mesh's UV layout, and 3D Studio's Retexture mode has been removed. 3D Studio does texture the models it generates itself — several engines output PBR materials — so for a whole textured prop use the AI game asset generator or the AI 3D model generator for Blender instead.

The seamless pattern generator is for print and graphic repeats — fabric, wallpaper, gift wrap, web backgrounds. This page is for 3D and game materials: top-down surfaces, flat light, power-of-two sizes and the extra PBR maps. The prompting and the offset test are the same idea.
