Texture collection + 3D models
Today I stumbled upon an excellent collection of textures. They're free, no need to register, all seamlessly tileable. Navigation of the site isn't very easy; part of it is organised as a blog. Have a good look and you will find a wealth of textures.
There is also a very nice collection of high quality Sketchup models with textures that (using SKetchup) can be easily converted to DAE models for SH3D.

Thanks Hans. Looks very nice. And it's distributed under Creative Commons license but miserably its non commercial version (CC-BY-NC-ND).

Re: Texture collection + 3D models
Just curious, why *miserably* CC-BY-NC-ND? Is there a preferred CC standard for use and sharing with SH3D? Or all public domain?
ok
PS By the way, as I am sure many will know, GIMP (www.gimp.org) comes with a seamless tool which can make a number of photos etc into nice textures for SH3D.

Re: Texture collection + 3D models
I'm miserable (but don't worry not that much!) because I'm still looking for a textures library I could redistribute for Sweet Home 3D users. But I prefer to avoid Non Commercial textures because it would be too restrictive for many users.

Re: Texture collection + 3D models
Ah yes, that explains your CC-BY-NC-ND misery. Glad you're not that miserable. May not be that much help, but I can provide you with a small library of seamless textures with a clear Scandinavian taste to supplement the existing collection (wood paneling :-) ). All compact, but rendering well in sh3d. Just need to tidy the sizes in the TextureLibraryEditor.

Re: Texture collection + 3D models
In case you didn't notice, Scopia and I released 84 textures under CC-BY license 3 days ago. I hope you'll like them and it will help contributors to create nicer models.

Re: Texture collection + 3D models
Emmanuel,
Very nice textures, thank you.
I think, I should re-visit the wishlist and ask again that texture management in SH3D will be changed so that it resembles model management, including a search feature, etc.
