Could I get everyone’s opinion on this?

I added several `Board Surface Texture` options so we can compare them and choose the best-looking one.

To test:
1. Make sure `Realistic Presentation Mode` is enabled.
2. Right-click the viewer.
3. Open `Board Surface Texture` and try the options.

I like it does it also have the light map/ normal map?

## 0hmx — 2026-07-09T13:38:28.905000+00:00

Looks 🔥

## 0hmx — 2026-07-09T13:41:11.797000+00:00

Do you have any less aggressive texture need to see some variations pcb are quit smooth I think, but we pick whatever looks best

## Anas — 2026-07-09T14:20:38.554000+00:00

I think there are two smooth texture did u check them?

## Rishabh — 2026-07-09T14:27:52.154000+00:00

These textures look good, but could have performance issue.

## Rishabh — 2026-07-09T14:29:38.005000+00:00

The backgound seems too dark, kicad 3d viewer doesn't have this kind of dark background. What are you referencing?

## Anas — 2026-07-09T14:31:40.742000+00:00

That's why we chose to make it an option in the right-click menu

Ivory looks right to me

## Anas — 2026-07-09T14:53:24.752000+00:00

I'm between Ivory and Paint Substance 001

New update to use generic component material profiles

The metal components look good but most components are plastic not metal

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:49:39.179000+00:00

The waviness isn’t a good fit imo

## Anas — 2026-07-09T15:53:03.986000+00:00

we need a way to reduce light refliction on board texture

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:53:05.223000+00:00

You might want to adjust the board surface magnitude in a right click menu

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:53:11.475000+00:00

Yea

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:53:31.877000+00:00

That is the “roughness” or something

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:53:43.375000+00:00

Getting closer

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:53:55.430000+00:00

I didnt go through them all but concrete wasnt too bad imo

## Seve — 2026-07-09T15:54:25.752000+00:00

The right click menu barely works on mobile (unrelated issue)

## Anas — 2026-07-09T18:30:51.441000+00:00

I create new board texture plz check

## Seve — 2026-07-09T20:31:05.359000+00:00

updated board texture

## shibo — 2026-07-11T16:59:44.635000+00:00

I like it, don't you think the white background is better?

looks cool

## Seve — 2026-07-11T19:50:14.998000+00:00

yea looking pretty good, i'm still not fully satisified with the board texture (i want a tiny bit of grain or something) but it is pretty good
