Textures
« on: 15 October 2008, 07:46:31 AM »
Don't think this site has been mentioned before.  It contains hundreds of free photos of various textures that would be useful for weathering, or colouring, buildings, scenery or equipment - rust, wood, ground, brick, roads, etc.  There are even some beautiful sky and landscape shots that could be used for backdrops.  Impressive collection!

What a great find - I've scoured the Net for brickwork but found very few. You certainly hit the jackpot here!

Now would anyone consider using these bricks on their models in place of engraving them on or applying cardboard ones?

It would be fantastic to see some card models made from these textrues. Maybe I should have a go. I just got into Gimp and need a project to learn about using it. Hmmm....

Anyway, superb resource thanks for the link archangel1.

Excellent find.  8)
I wish I had found that before starting my Geezers buildings. I will be using it in the future.
