Texture sources

Hi all, I'm curious what everyone does to create or otherwise get textures for particles and other environments such as rain drops, fire, smoke, etc? Are they easy to make or is there a place to purchase a batch of them?

Steve,

I paint them in Photoshop, but a free program like GIMP works just as well. With particle effects, its the overall visual of the emitter in action, not the individual particles that are important.

Take a look at the particles that come in the free demo, very simple, yet effective.

Paint Shop Pro can make nice transparencies.

Texture Maker is on absolutely amazing program for generating your textures. I'd advise you give it a thorough try!
