Texture collection + 3D models

[hansmex]

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. [:)] What is the site URL or name?

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

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.

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.

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.

Just tried a couple of pattern generators (e.g. bgpatterns and bgmaker). Handy for making (seamless) wall-papers with little effort.

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. [:)]

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.
