Subject: Building a Library of Images for Everyone


Eric_Matyas ( ) posted Tue, 10 January 2017 at 12:54 PM · edited Wed, 17 April 2024 at 2:22 PM

Hi everyone,

I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to use in your projects. They are all original...all my own work. I think a lot of them could be made into cool textures for games. All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage:

http://soundimage.org/

The images are on my "TXR" pages.

I'm adding new ones all the time, so be sure to check back often. I sincerely hope that some of them are useful. Any and all constructive feedback is welcome and always appreciated. :-)

All the best,

Eric

Hi Eric! Thank you for telling us about your library of images! I think they will come in handy in a lot of members images. I use textures a lot, so i will definitely be coming to your website when I need a certain texture. I hope you're having a great week! 😄

Hi everyone,

A whole bunch of new seamless texture images are ready for you on the following pages:

TXR - Brick TXR - Concrete/Pavement TXR - Foliage TXR - Ground TXR - Stone TXR - Wood

Feel free to generate maps from them (displacement, specular, etc) as needed. If you need me to create them custom for you, drop me an email...(my email address is at the bottom of my homepage.)

I hope some of them are helpful!

Hi everyone,

I've opened a new page of free sky images that might come in handy in your projects: http://soundimage.org/txr-skies/

I also added a bunch of new wood images here: http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/

I hope some of them are helpful!


Eric_Matyas ( ) posted Wed, 15 February 2017 at 7:18 AM

This week's new free images are on my TXR - WOOD page. At the top, I've added a bunch of smooth wood images that might come in handy for interiors. Some have dents and other signs of wear.

If you scroll down (way down) to Seamless Textures, you'll find about 20 "fantasy wood" images...(I'm experimenting with creating different looks.)

Anyhow, they all live here:

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

I hope some of them are helpful!


Eric_Matyas ( ) posted Tue, 21 February 2017 at 6:02 AM

Hi everyone,

I've added about 100 new texture images. You'll find them on the following pages:

TXR - BRICK - (some new seamless "fantasy" bricks)

TXR - GROUND - (stones that could be used for riverbeds, railroad beds, etc.)

TXR - METAL - (both standard and seamless)

TXR - ROCK/STONE - (lots of cool rock textures, both standard and seamless...realistic as well as fantasy creations)

TXR - VEGETATION - (some cool ground cover that has a surreal look)

Enjoy! http://soundimage.org/

Hi everyone,

I just began a new page of cool Sci-Fi texture images. Give it a look:

http://soundimage.org/txr-sci-fi/

I'll be adding many more images, including skins for creatures, aliens, etc.

Any requests?

Btw, I've also had folks ask about how to credit me for my images. Please simply list me and my website under "Textures" in your credits section...there's no need to identify which images are mine...unless you really want to. :-)

Anyhow, I think this is going to evolve into a really cool page. Hope it's helpful!

I think it's going to be a cool page too. I love sci-fi textures! I really like the sci-fi metal textures you have on your page. I can't wait to see your skins for creatures and aliens. Every time I see an alien skin, I just have to have it. lol Thank you again for sharing your images with us! 😄

I've bookmarked your site Eric_Matyas, and look forward to exploring. If you are looking for texture requests, high quality fabric textures, which are seamless without looking like a cheesy print, are what I've had trouble finding. Sweater knits, lace, and items which have a more pronounced textures (damask, seersucker, tweed, dupioni silk), have been hard to find. If you ever need background foliage for a specific project (either backdrop or 2.5d elements on a transparent background), send me a message. Cai

Hey there, I can certainly create an area for fabrics and such. Great suggestion!

In the meantime...

I've uploaded about 50 new metal texture images for everyone. Feel free to edit them as needed. You'll find them here:

I just looked at the new metal textures. Lovely! I'm giving my son sets to construct a space ship for his birthday, and will point him to your site when he begins mulling how to modify the textures/style. I've been working on creating bump maps from a physical angle, creating tga files and displacement maps that I can combine with seamless texture tiles to get an appropriate overall texture in a render. Admittedly I'm not producing many renders yet, and far fewer with postwork done, but having a blast learning how it all works.

I've just uploaded about 70 new seamless metal textures. All are 2048X2048. Some have a "camo" look and might work well for military-themed objects. Others have intriguing patterns that might look cool in fantasy-based things. And some are just plain weird looking, but what the heck...give them a look. Hopefully some of them will be helpful.
