Discovered: 2 huge free texture resources sites

These are NOT mine ... but they could help toward making future free texture maps. Or even toward texturing existing free stuff. wink

They have everything needed to make 3DL / Iray shaders, although they are not set up in shader format.

Both have hundreds of textures, all flagged "Public Domain," and still growing ... laugh

https://cc0textures.com/

(includes: color, displacement, normal and rough)


https://texturehaven.com/

(includes: diff, bump, displacement, normal, rough, and specular)

Maybe these might make good additions to the stickied list of free stuff sites? wink

ALSO: Free utility application that converts bump maps to normals, etc., if one is attempting to make their own layered textures.

    Eden, you may want to remove the spaces and semi-colons after the links. They should be https://texturehaven.com/ and https://cc0textures.com/ 

    I'm pretty sure these sites have been listed before, but it can't hurt to look at them again smiley

    I hadn't noticed them before, so apologies if they are duplicates. blush

    I didn't put in semi-colons, not sure how those got in there. I moved the list of "what's contained in each .zip" to the next line down, instead of several spaces after each link. Hope that makes it easier for everyone!

    Also added a link to Xnormal. Super helpful freebie program.

    Happy arting! smiley

    I had one listed, but not the other, so thanks for the heads-up (nice for both Studio and Blender :-) )

    3D models, textures and materials for design and visualisation (3djungle.net)

    Just popped up as I tried a search for seamless fabric textures. All free, apparently.

  • I have found http://texturelib.com/ to be useful. There are quite a few seamless textures there with a free quota of 2 higher res or up to 4 lower res images a day, pay if you want more or come back next day when the quota resets. The license is generous and simple, this is the entire licence:

    Terms of Use

    All images are taken by my own cameras and edited by me.

    They are free for commercial and non-commercial use with the only limitation: you are not allowed to sell or distribute original or slightly modified images alone or in packs. You can only distribute them as an integral part of your product. Credit texturelib.com if it is possible.

    I haven't seen xNormal before. Will give that a try! Thanks :)

    Are there any shaders like these that work in 3Delight?
