Hey all, some of you might know a site I used own and run www.Freetextures.com . Well anyway I thinking of starting it up again or starting a version of it up on my new comic website. I stopped doing freetextures.com when I created Turbo Squid. Anyone use that or heard of it www.turbosquid.com ? It allows artists to buy and sell there artwork.

Anyway on my comic site I will basically just give away the textures I do for my comic on it for free. What do ya think? Would that be werid on a comicbook site? Or should I just start up freetextures.com again?

Here is an example of what I will give away on one of the sites. Haven't done a texture in a while..what do ya think?



this the texture tiled on a flat polygon

You sir, are a marvel. Id like to thank your mother for spawning you sometime.

Being an occasional texture-artist myself I can say that looks really nice. Very sharp and clear, neat work there.

Hello...

yes start freetextures.com again...
i was allways looking for some inspiration on that site...
but i never installed TurboSquid.

Start it again... and let other Ppls add theyr Textures too...(maybe filter them... these Kais Powerfractal Texturizer stuff suggs...)

Start up FreeTextures.com again and you will be blessed

To be honest I wasn�t too excited about your comic and other art, but I have to say that this piece changes my whole opinion of your abilities. You�re a texture-genious! I LOVE that thing and would kill to see how you make that and how I can do that by myself. I beg, PLEASE could you show me how you�ve done that? I really need to learn to create good textures and it seems like I�ve found the Master of Textures!

Oh paleeze oh nick paleeeze start freetextures.com again!
I loved that site!!!!!

[RoadMaster]

damnit now there's drool all over my keyboard and it's all your fault!

[Bilbo]

freetextures.com was the best texture resource on the net! bring it back!

this texture you posted looks good, but i think it has too much lighting information on it already- which makes it suitable for realtime applications (games) but less suitable for hi quality rendering. other than that , a great job.

Yeah, I miss freetextures.com too. I played with turbosquid a little, but the textures just didn't seem to have the same level of quality as the ones you used to post.

I definately think you should start up freetextures.com ! That site rocked. Yes, start it up.

[Switch to pimp mode]: Btw, damn cool texture. Would you be interested in writing up a tutorial for CG Channel explaining how you make your textures? Give me a shout if you're interested. [email protected]

There is a new site which promises to provide some nice textures...

it is called www.digitexturia.com

started by a fairly well known guy called 'mcgee'.. he is at least well known at Deviantart... and among some other circles.

Anyway.. I suggest you support that site, as it promises to be a dedicated resource for artists.. with stock photos, textures, ideas, etc.. have a read of the mission statement and see if you agree.

If not then I defintely encourage you to start up FreeTextures again.
