Textures for various uses...

New postby stmok on 29 Jul 2010, 17:10

Let's say you're writing your own game (indy developer or as a hobby), but you have no textures. The following is a nice source of them.

CG Textures
http://cgtextures.com/

Please note:
The free account only allows you to download 15MB per 24 hours.
If you go over, you must wait for the quota to reset OR purchase quota plans as follows...

100MB / day
49 € / one year
(approximately 61 USD)

250MB / day
99 € / one year
(approximately 124 USD)

750MB / day
199 € / one year
(approximately 250 USD)

Make sure you are clear with the conditions of use. So READ and UNDERSTAND the licensing conditions as well as their FAQ.
There's nothing more frustrating than to receive a legal notice about violating someone else's licensing conditions!

The most important thing the hacker community does is write better code. Our deeds are the best propaganda we have. Most of us, most of the time, shouldn't be distracted by worrying about beating Microsoft's PR or countering their political moves, because writing good code is in the long run a far more potent weapon than flackery. -Eric S.
