Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone

Forum

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

Hey everyone,



Finishing out January, I've created some brand new textures that you'll find on these pages on my site:



BARK - Artistic (Tile-able)



BRICK - Artistic (Tile-able)



https://soundimage.org/images-home-page/



Please feel free to edit them, mash, mix, use parts of them, combine with other things...whatever is helpful in your projects.  :-)



See you in February!

Happy Sunday!



If anyone happens to be using my music tracks, be sure to check out my higher-quality Ogg versions. They sound amazing, loop better in game engines and are a cool way to support my efforts.



That said, this week's new free texture images are on these pages on my site:



CONCRETE - Artistic (Tile-able)



FUR / CARPET - Artistic (Tile-able)



You can access them here:

New-And-Improved Ogg Music Packs



For those of you who happen to be using my music tracks, my higher-quality Ogg music packs are now available as Zip folders so you can actually download all of my music tracks at once. This should be a huge time-saver.  Here's a link if you'd like to check them out:

As always, enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative!  :-)

Hi Everyone,



I've had some people ask me why I don't provide maps (like normal maps, roughness, ambient occlusion, etc.) with my texture images. The answer is:  I think it's better to let people generate their own maps from my images so they can make them (and, hence, their final materials) look exactly the way they want them to. 



I've recently discovered a free tool called "Materialize" that does exactly that, and it works really well. Here's a link:



https://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/



That said, this week's brand new images are on these pages on my site:



BARK - Artistic - Tile-able



BRICK - Artistic - Tile-able



CONCRETE - Artistic - Tile-able



You can access them from here:

If you happen to find my free assets helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts. My site is 100% ad-free...I pay for everything myself and contributions from the creative community really help a lot.



That said, you'll find this week's new free textures on these pages:



FUR/CARPET - Artistic - Tile-able



GROUND TEXTURES - Artistic - Tile-able

Hey Everyone,



Brand new seamless texture images are ready on these pages on my site:



METAL - Artistic - Tile-able

ROCK / STONE- Artistic - Tile-able



Game developers and other content creators keep asking me if they can use my assets in projects intended to make money...the answer is YES! :-) As long as you use my assets within projects and properly attribute me, it's fine. Here's a link to my attribution page:



https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/



What you CANNOT do is resell my assets outright or, say, make an original soundtrack from my music and sell that. That would be illegal. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.



In the meantime, stay safe and keep being creative!
