Boost your texture library!

Over the last few years I have taken many photographs for use in texturing, now I've decided to release them to the public as texture packs. These textures are a little different than most, they aren't straight photos of bricks, grass, rocks etc, they are Texture Elements. The idea is that these elements are to be used as masks, overlays, brushes and layers when texturing an object.

There are 3 packs available, each with 100 textures. The resolution of the textures does vary, but they more than enough for texturing videogame objects.

The three Texture Elements volumes are:

Vol.1 - Paint & Decals
Vol.2 - Rust & Dirt
Vol.3 - Scuffs & Scratches

They are $10 USD each or you can get all 3 in the "complete pack" for $15, get them from http://dirtytexel.com/ payment is through Paypal only. I really hope people find these useful, please let me know what you guys think, about the price, the textures, download speed etc.

Here are some previews of each pack.

Ive been using an earlier version that i got off jonny a while back at work, and i can attest to the usefulness of the pack. He has been taking photos in japan, america and australia to put this thing together.

Very cool! Quite a fair price too.

Very nice! Went for the full pack. €10 aint bad

Nice to see folks offering usefull stuff and making a few quid.

mdeforge · Jun 2011

Wow, nice pics and a great price. I'm not going to be able to get this until July, but I'll definitely invest!

Nice sets and price, much appreciated. Download speed is great btw. Got one that was 70MB in ~25 sec

Do these all come as Targa's with the alpha channel masked for selection?

TheSplash · Jun 2011

Thank you to those who have bought something so far! If these are popular enough I'll be able to make more in the future.

Adam: Some of the decals in the first pack that are colour are PNGs with transparency. But as most of those are monochromatic they are simply JPG quality 12.

I forgot to mention, there are no restrictions on how you use these textures, you can use them for commercial, personal use etc and no credit needs to be given. Just don't re-sell them or freely distribute them on the internet.

Awesome and fair price, i'm buying this!

haiddasalami · Jun 2011

Gonna get this once my credit card payment goes through. Nice stuff.

moose · Jun 2011

badass, thanks for this! got my 15 bucks

TheDarkKnight · Jun 2011

Got the full pack, really nice, can't wait to start a project where I can actually use them

TheSplash · Jun 2011

Thanks guys, I'm glad people like the price. I tried to price them at what I personally would like to pay, not what I think people would be willing to pay. I've seen some crazy prices out there...

Any suggestions on how to get more eyes on this? I probably should be posting it other places, I'm just always hesitant to pimp my own stuff haha

Hey TheSplash, I just got the full pack and its great so just wanted to say thanks (and thought a bump on this thread couldn't hurt!)

Give away a handful of them (perhaps 5-10 of the oldest brushes) every month. Nothing grabs people's attention like freebies. I worked in retail for a few years and you wouldn't believe how many people come in just to get the free stuff!

Bumping because I just purchased,
Also because its awesome! Thanks TheSplash

Uly · Aug 2011

Karmageddon · Aug 2011

Wesley · Nov 2011

Bumpety bump. Just bought, very awesome. Hope to see more cool stuff soon.

Matroskin · Nov 2011

thanks a lot, just got it

Coincidentally I was extracting similar masks from photos for my textures just recently...

Would be great to have also dents/cracks pack like that for cement/concrete surfaces

Boyso · Nov 2011

Just purchased as well, thanks

mLichy · Nov 2011

Just purchased as well, Kickflipkid687. Awesome stuff

lloyd · Nov 2011

Nice of you to give them away! (for a price)

TheSplash · Nov 2011

Thank you for your support everyone.
I no longer aspire to be a game artist myself, but releasing these has been a catharsis, I really hope people get some use out of them.

@ Matroskin Yeah, I was thinking a cracks pack too, they are a tricky though.. very tricky to find and process into useable textures! But also very useful! I was also thinking graffiti, but I feel that's like stealing others work. haha

GarageBay9 · Nov 2011

These are awesome.

Buy yourself something nice with my $15.

onionhead_o · Nov 2011

Just bought it, awesome stuff gona save me a lot of time for sure

ambershee · Nov 2011

I picked this up today - I've been working on a UT3 map for shit and giggles and a lot of these masks will help go a long way in breaking up the tiling as well as putting together a few decal materials. As a programmer, rather than someone who's texture competant it's great to be able to get hold of reasonably priced texture maps - many of those you can purchase online are just prohibitively expensive, and it's often hard to find reasonable ones that are free for personal use
