I've been going through and organizing some of the pictures I've taken over the last 2 years and I decided to share them.
I know most of you use cgtextures but I think you might find some useful things in this pack.
There are 444 pictures atm, and it's a 5GB archive
I didn't include any tiling textures, but those should be pretty straight forward to make with most of the pictures.
Most of the pictures are 5184x3456 and in jpg format.
As I took these pictures over a period of 2 years, the quality will vary. Some of the pictures are intended to be used for texturing, and some are just reference for making textures.
There's also about 100 pictures of various architecture.
These are free to use for commercial use, but they may not be redistributed unless proper credit is given and may not be sold as separate products.
If there's any interest in this, I will regularly update this thread with new textures. And I'll take requests if anyone has any.
@bnosam: Yeah, unfortunately mega only works in chrome and IE 10 I think.
I'll upload it to mediafire tonight so check back tomorrow if you want to download it.
Here's a torrent, but I will have to limit the upload speed during the day for a while because my ISP decided to cap my download speed because I downloaded too much

Thanks a lot !
With torrents you just have to be patient.

That would be awesome! If you're up for it, definitely share them. I'm very interested in seeing the pictures. Wish I had a 5d I'm stuck with a 550d for now.
Ok i uploaded them on Mega, there are 3 rars in it, Rome, Dresden and Raw images(Rome). The settings of the cam arent perfect, sometimes more sometimes less due to time and diskspace problems (only 8gb in rome->mostly jpgs ). https://mega.co.nz/#!TRlyCaRJ!KU1lryyh9fv853njbwvtJ2UYV5N7dIaC93eU30CMcqc
Hope you have use for them
Rome ~460 Files + 72 Raws , Dresden 67 most of them with Raws. 3.63gb. I used an 50mm 1.8II and 24-85 mm 3.5-4.5 Canon Lens without a tripod.
Just checked it out. There's a lot of great architecture reference, definitely useful
Don't really need to upload raw images, just make sure you do all the proper raw processing before saving as jpg, like exposure, contrast, noise/sharpening and lens correction.
Unfortunately I had to postpone going out to take more pictures a few times due to bad weather but if the weather is okay I'll go this week. I'm also going on a 3 day trip to France in 2 weeks so expect a big addition after that.
If anyone has any requests for textures or reference pictures, please let me know!
Here's a torrent, but I will have to limit the upload speed during the day for a while because my ISP decided to cap my download speed because I downloaded too much
Thank you for these! I will definitely be downloading them later.
I read up on this, because my ISP also did the same thing and from what I understand, they throttle your speed ONLY when they see you UPLOADING. It sucks just as much, but I hope that helps deal with them a little more :poly122: Thanks again Komaokc.
Thank you so much. I've been looking for another artist to share their textures. Usually I have to spend hours looking on a search engine for a usable texture. For some reason a lot of artists out there don't like to share textures. Thanks for being a team player and sharing :thumbup:
No problem! Hopefully it encourages other people to do the same
Eventually I'd like to set up a site for this, where perhaps people can submit their own textures as well. But unfortunately I have no idea how to design websites
@uberphoenix Yeah, there seems to be something weird going on with mega atm, but it should still download the file either way. And significantly faster than other free sites.
@Campaignjunkie That's a good idea, I'll contact cgtextures and see what I can do.
I'm getting an error for part 8, saying that the Public Traffic of the file's owner is exhausted.
I think that's due to rapidshare's file sharing restrictions. You'd have to wait a day. So far mega is the only file sharing site I've found where you can upload big files without restrictions.
I uploaded part 8 on dropbox, I can't upload everything though, because my space on dropbox is limited.

Will check them out when the download is finished...
Sorry about the big files, but I wanted to share the biggest resolution I have.
@bnosam: Yeah, unfortunately mega only works in chrome and IE 10 I think.
I'll upload it to mediafire tonight so check back tomorrow if you want to download it.
I really want to make a website for this, would make things a lot easier. I have no idea how to design a website though.
I'm also planning on going out and taking some more pictures some time this week so expect an update soon!
Seriously, thanks a lot man, really cool of you!
Unfortunately, Mega is slowing down my computer while downloading the file...
Did you thought about using a torrent to share it ?

It's probably easier and less time consuming to just install chrome and use mega though!

On an unrelated note, I've made a little tutorial on making a door so have a look if you'd like

Sorry, haven't used rapidshare in a while. It should work now
thanks for yours komaokc

My download speed is no longer capped, but I still need to limit the upload speed during the day to 250kbps or I won't be able to do anything online.
I'd recommend anyone to just download chrome and use mega. It's VERY fast and the torrent will take a while.
download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!pxN3jYCT!dUvB_Tq-QEEMM__GMZ1yK2gR3Vo27h8LQlX_02w_FAo (1.35 GB)
I'll try to add some alternative download links later on.
Here's a few samples.
Go to this album for higher res (still resized to fit imgur)

Thanks for the files though!

I'll help you seed as well once I downloaded.
