5 awesome Flickr groups to fuel your texture inspiration
Posted by Vincent in Textures | 6 comments

When trying to come up with new ideas for textures, I often turn to Flickr for inspiration. The vast amount of texture images on there is overwhelming and sometimes makes it hard to find the ones you are looking for. In order to make things easier for you, I created an overview with 5 groups, which offer a great variety of texture photos and have a solid user base, so that new content keeps flowing in on a regular basis.
Here is the list of flickr groups in no particular order. I included a few details like the number of members to date, number of photos and the number of images that may be added per day, week or month. Have fun browsing through all these wonderful images!

Excellent list, I didn’t even think to look on Flickr for groups of textures. I have used Skeletalmess before as he throws out some really nice textures, though they are on the small size when working with large photographs. Thanks.
