+++EDIT, original post below, URL included above already+++

There are some decent textures for anything from stonework to hair to brick and wood to be found here:
http://www.spiralforums.biz/index.php?showtopic=2678
Spiral Graphics makes Genetica (an awesome texuring program that costs some serious quid) and Wood Workshop which is free and pretty cool for boards and tile work etc...

worth checking out at least I say.

juju · 15 Nov 2007, 01:57

wow, some more textures, hmmm...

guite · 15 Nov 2007, 01:58

Thanks everyone for sharing. It would be great for future reference, for faster search when in dire need of a fresh texture, if all the contributed links can be compiled together at the first post or on top of first page of this thread.

I have gone ahead and compiled. Dear moderators, if this long post does not find your approval please let me know.

+++EDIT+++
Guite, thx for the effort, did the changes as I agree with you. Also edited your post to keep things a little tidy.

Paul Russam · 15 Nov 2007, 02:04

urgen,
That's a fantastic resource, thanks.

urgen · 15 Nov 2007, 02:05

... http://www.filterforge.com/ - FILTER FORGE-fantastic plugin for Adobe Photoshop that allows you to build your own filters.free trial(30 days), a funny interesting forum, textures for the real professionals! Very entertaining!..
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
... http://www.texturama.com/ - is the real emperor of texture web pages!However, it's not on the list, have no idea why..It's not for free use, but for the people who's ok with that- this is really a treasure! Max. professionally made textures. I haven't seen anything better, the great variety of textures of concretes and facades. For the rest: some previews can be privatly used in SU (quality is enough), finishing it using the well-known methods ... architects and designers, enjoy!..
