Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone

by Eric Matyas · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 01/10/2017 (12:10 pm) · 187 replies

Hi everyone,

I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to freely 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

    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:

    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:

    Hope some of them are helpful!

    Happy New Year Everyone!

    In case you haven't already noticed, I've tried to improve navigation on my site by creating a categorized menu of links to all my pages on the right-hand side of each page. (If you don't immediately see it, scroll down a bit.) I hope it's helpful!

    That said, I've uploaded about 40 new free images on the following pages:

    TXR - GROUND
    http://soundimage.org/txr-ground/

    TXR - ROCK/STONE 2
    http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone-2/
