More than 25 Texture Libraries

Bart · February 9, 2007

We’ve posted about texture libraries before, now we have found the king of texture libraries. With over 25 links to other texture libraries, this is the biggest collection we’ve published so far!

From smashingmagazine.com:

[The] Web offers many useful resources one should always keep in mind searching for textures. Below you’ll find a hand-picked selection of some useful resources related to textures and background images. We tried to pick the best ones which offer quality and professional content without annoying advertisement.

Following repositories offer â€œfreeâ€ textures, which means that you can use them for both personal and commercial projects according to the license mentioned on the web-site you’ve downloaded the images from. The images in this article have been taken from the sites described in this list.

Awesome stuff – it even includes the Blender Texture Disc :) Check it out!

There are also the Elephants Dream textures too, not all of them are easy to repurpose, but a lot are! http://video.blendertestbuilds.de/download.blender.org/ED/DVD2/production/lib/textures/machine/

Finally, no annoying advertisement. Instead, “500 Internal Server Error” in 90% of cases, no matter what link you click on the site… professional! ;) Is hosting an almost-stock WordPress installation so difficult? ;)
