Texture resources on the web

#1

These kind of link-lists have a habit of falling out of date quickly. Not sure what to do about that. But they are helpful.

Post your favorites, try to avoid duplicates, blah, blah, you know the story.

=========================
Here are some texture sites that offer no restrictions on commercial use, a very important disctinction for me.

Just beware the copyright notices…

Some people don’t care about copyright, perhaps if you’re a student or hobbyist. Those that work commercially (i.e. for others) have to consider these ownership issues, or else we risk possible court action, which in turn pisses off the client. We lose not only money, but perhaps more importantly our reputations and our clients.

Anyhow, I just thought this would be worth mentioning. It’s up to each artist to make their own choice.
