5 hi-res textures of stones and rocks

2lip — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:38:12 +0000

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. It was worth a try, but it is apparent that this little experiment did not work out they way I had hoped.

4 hi-res grunge textures of cracked paint

2lip — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:35:05 +0000

Coming back from a nice vacation in the beautiful Ardeche region in France, I present you some nice grungy textures of cracked paint. There were lots of old villages in that area, so it was a perfect spot for shooting pictures of old stones, rocks and in this case wheathered wood. I hope you find those useful!

Featured new texture site: LoveTextures

2lip — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:08:22 +0000

A while ago, I presented to you a few newcomer websites that are also focussing on hi-res textures. In the meantime, I was approached by Justin, who recently set up a great site called LoveTextures and with this feature post I would like to welcome this friendly new member to the texture community.

For this post, he send me an awesome set of graffiti textures, which you can download below and here is a short bio of Justin, where he also tells the story behind LoveTextures:

My Name is Justin Treharne I live in Sandhurst in the UK, have been a photographer now for around 4 years and its been a huge part of my life, never really gone professional with it as I have a full time job heading up a Digital department, so really kept it as a keen hobby.

LoveTextures came about by a few discussion at work with my team (Jules and Indy) on how we could keep our interests up and what would be easy to maintain as a personal project, putting my passion of photography and technical background to good use I decided to develop a site built on wordpress delivering high resolution textures. I went through about 2 months worth of logo and web site design before I settled on what you see now, it’s clean, uncluttered and delivers content fast within 2 clicks, all the textures are 300dpi at a resolution of roughly 2560×1707.

I constantantly promote my site on twitter and flickr and various other sites to get maximum exposure and its currently doing very well, my future plans are to further the creativity and increase photo dimensions/size and to be one of the top places to visit for free Creative Textures along with HRT of course.

Thanks for reading and visiting!

7 hi-res textures of wood and volcanic stone from Fuerteventura

2lip — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:01:55 +0000

My dear friend Martin, a regular contributor to this blog, recently went on vacation to Fuerteventura, one of the Canary islands. This island has emerged from volcanic activities and there is an abundance of nice rock formations, which are perfectly suited for shooting textures. This is exactly what he did and he gave me a few of his best shots in order to share them with you guys. So here is a nice collection of various exotic stone and wood textures from Fuerteventura.

Many thanks to Martin for sharing these great textures. Make sure to pay a visit to his photoblog, where he posts some great pictures on a regular basis.

5 hi-res grunge textures made from pancakes

2lip — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:48:11 +0000

You might ask yourself, what kind of a stupid title is that – grunge in combination with pancakes? The idea for these textures just popped up, when I was standing in the kitchen and making…you guessed it: pancakes. 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.

I hope you find those useful! Let me know what you think and maybe you can share some more unusual texture ideas in the comments. I am always open to suggestions.

new kids on the (texture) block

2lip — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:57:28 +0000

It was pretty quiet here for the last month, due to the fact that I was busy working on other personal projects and client work. But I promise to make up for my absence by posting a bunch of articles over the coming days, starting with this one here. I would like to present you 2 great new texture sites that have emerged recently.

The first new site is called Texturelovers and has been set up by Max Stanworth, who also runs the well-known blog Design Shard. Texturelovers was created with the purpose of archiving only the best textures from around the web, which are free to use for commercial as well as personal design projects. Next to that, the site also contains an inspiration section and covers tutorials on how to utilize textures and creating stunning effects. Head on over there and see for yourself and I am sure you’ll find some pretty amazing content.

The second site that recently came to light, is Free Stock Textures and the title already says what you can expect. The site is run by Paul Wozniak and Eva Sajdak, 2 amateur photographers who are doing a great job assembling a nice collection of textures. Popular categories include nature, wood or grunge and they have implemented a nice color picker tool from where you can access texture categories of different colors – what a great idea! Check out this great resource!

4 hi-res mussel shell textures

2lip — Tue, 26 May 2009 08:11:20 +0000

Summertime is here and this calls for different kinds of textures. Last week, I spent a lovely day at the beach with my fiance and while walking along the coastline, we collected quite a few mussel shells. At home, I made a big pile and created these textures from it. I hope you find them useful. Enjoy!

Update: One of my twitter friends – @hilsatlvsonline – just pointed out that the exact name is cockle shells. Thanks for the taxonomy lesson

Spray paint: a collection of 9 hi-res textures

2lip — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 01:02:44 +0000

Here is a nice and colorful collection of hi-res spray paint textures on different metal surfaces. I found these on several garage doors on my way home from my first skateboarding photography session, when I had take a detour with my bike. This proves that it can be very beneficial from time to time if you go off the beaten track and as a consequence discover something new. Let me know, what you think of these images.

6 colorful antique fabric and wood textures

A few weeks back, I went to an antique market in Belgium and besides looking for some hidden gems at the different stands, I was able to take some nice pictures of old wooden chests and antique chairs. I really love, how colorful some of these textures turned out to be, but look for yourself…
