7

Another texture pack containing images from my recent visit to France. This time it is a diverse collection with 5 high quality images of stones and rocks. On a side note, I will remove the upload functionality from the website, because it was barely used and most of the images only had a limited resolution.

I just looked at the first one I made and thought that the color and structure resembles some rust textures that you see floating around the web, so I quickly grabbed my camera and made a few shots. Crazy idea, but the results look pretty interesting in my opinion.

But I promise to make up for my absence by posting a bunch of articles over the coming days, starting with this one here.
