Hey.

Just to let you know that I used a few of your textures on my BG blitz entry here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54719.msg636560523#msg636560523

Thanks!

Awesome...that's great! And you're very welcome...I'm glad they are helpful!

I've uploaded about 150 new texture images, seamless and standard. As always, feel free to edit as needed. You'll find them here:

http://soundimage.org/txr-bark/
http://soundimage.org/txr-brick/
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
http://soundimage.org/txr-vegetation/
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/

Paper textures (for maps, backgrounds, etc.) are on their way as well. Hopefully I'll have a brand new page full of them by next week.  :-)

I just opened a new page of paper textures that might be useful for maps, backgrounds and other things:

http://soundimage.org/txr-paper/

As always, feel free to edit as needed.

Next week I'll begin adding distressed paper textures which should (hopefully) look really cool.

Have a great weekend! :-)

Hi everyone,

I've just uploaded about 130 seamless fabric texture images onto a brand new page:

http://soundimage.org/txr-fabric/

Hopefully some of them will be useful for clothes and other things. As always, feel free to edit as needed.

Have a great weekend!  :-)

Hi everyone,

As promised, I've added about 50 distressed paper textures. They might be useful for maps, backgrounds and other things. 

http://soundimage.org/txr-paper/

I hope some of them are helpful.  :-)

Great work, Eric!

[Eric Matyas]

Great work, Eric!

Thanks, I hope some of them are useful!

[Eric Matyas]

I've uploaded a bunch of cool new metal, stone and bark texture images, both seamless and standard.

They are here:

http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
http://soundimage.org/txr-bark/

I hope some of them are helpful.

Btw, my Soundimage Facebook page has been giving me trouble, so I've started a personal one:

Have a good week!  :-)

I've just uploaded over 100 new stone and metal texture images, standard and seamless, that I took at a couple of archaeological sites over the weekend. I think a lot of the stone textures could work well for castles and other structures.   

You'll find them here:

Have a good week!  :-)

Greetings!

I've uploaded about 100 new fabric texture images on my TXR - FABRIC page. They are all seamless, 2048X2048 and ready for tiling.

New fabric types include Leather, Rayon, Metal Linens, Dyed Acrylics and various weaves.

They might be useful for clothes for characters, furniture coverings, carpets, or anything else you can think of.

You'll find them here:

I hope some of them are useful!   :-)

I've never bookmarked a page so fast!

Excellent work, I can't wait to dig into what you've uploaded.

Excellent work

Thanks, guys, I hope some of my images are useful!

I just uploaded a bunch of new ones, both seamless and standard, on the following pages:

TXR - Brick
http://soundimage.org/txr-brick/

TXR - Metal
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/

TXR - Wood
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/


If anyone happens to need a couple of distressed wooden door images, they are on my TXR - WOOD page as well. I think they look really cool. As always, feel free to edit as needed.

Btw, fur images on on their way...stay tuned!  :-)

[Eric Matyas]

50 or so new metal textures are ready, both seamless and standard, on my TXR - METAL page.  You can find them here:

http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/

Still working on carpet / fur / etc.

Have a good week!

[Eric Matyas]

I've opened a fur textures page and uploaded about 70 images, both seamless and standard, to get it started. Some of them might be useful for other things, like carpets, rugs, etc. Some also have funky weaves so I included them for fun.

You'll find them here:

You are building quite an extensive collection here.

Very impressive.

Do you have plans to add other maps (like Ambient Occlusion, Normals, Displacement, Specular, etc) for these textures or sticking just w/ the diffuse?

Either way it's very generous of you to offer all these for free.

Thanks for checking out my work...I appreciate it! It would be pretty time-consuming to create all of those maps for each and every texture (especially since I don't know which textures of mine people want to use) so I generally say please feel free to create those maps yourselves from my images. I'm really not a texture artist, but I love shooting and creating images so I ask people to think of my images as a starting point...do with them whatever you like! 

In that spirit...

I've added about 50 new paper textures derived mostly from old book covers, but there are also some distressed blank pages. They are on my TXR - Paper page:

http://soundimage.org/txr-paper/

Hope some of them are helpful!

That's a great site, really useful – I've bookmarked it! I wish I were still making maps for 3D games, that way I could use many of those wonderful textures.
I've been listening to some of the music and sound effects and there's some good stuff there too.

Thank you for your effort and generosity!

You're very welcome!

I just uploaded about 40 new stone texture images, both standard and seamless, on my new TXR - Rock/Stone 2 page.

Enjoy!

A bunch of new wood texture images are ready, both standard and seamless, on my TXR - Wood page.
