25 tileable textures for your multimedia, web, 3d, game or print designs. Bricks, stones, furs, metals and other materials. These tiles were created digitally, so you won’t get the dirt and impurities normally found on scanned images.
Some years ago, the cool people at Photomorphix sent me five awesome high resolution rustic backgrounds to offer for free to my visitors. In the last few years, Photoshop Roadmap had an explosive growth and these backgrounds got buried under a lot of new resources.
For more cool royalty free ultra high resolution digital backgrounds, textures and stock photos for the photoshop artist, photographer and graphic designer, just visit Photomorphix web site and I’m sure you will like what you will find there.
An outstanding collection of 60 unique paper backgrounds, in high resolution image files. Each image shows a different type of paper that can be use in as a background in your favorite layout software.
Each one of the 15 different paper textures is presented in four styles. The plain texture, scanned from original high quality papers, plus three different folding effects for a total of 60 high resolution backgrounds. The folds and creases were applied using AutoFX Crease plugin from the DreamSuite Series I Collection
These textures are free and can be used in your commercial works. More information here. If you use any of these textures in your website, a link to Photoshop Roadmap will be appreciated. You can’t sell these textures.
I’m passionate about textures. I’ve already published some compilations, such as 30 free paper backgrounds and textures at my Creative Closeup blog and 10 grunge, rusty and dirty tileable textures at this site.
Now it is time for a new roundup of incredibly cool high resolution textures. These textures belong to different authors. All of them can be used in commercial projects, but it is safer to check the term of use of each texture before doing so.
There’s an interesting book called Crumble, Crackle, Burn: 120 Stunning Textures for Design and Illustration that comes with 120 high resolution textures on a bundled DVD.
Grunge, dirty, gritty, slimy, rusty, shattered, dripping, torn, worn, and whatever you think that you may frown upon in real life, is an awesome resource for creativity.
An incredible amount of photo effects, text effects, brushes and textures are available for free access on the web.
This list is a compilation of sixty grunge and distressed effects resources for Adobe Photoshop. Go and get your hands dirty with them!
This is a collection of ten 1000×1000 pixels seamless textures. These textures were created using Filter Forge plugin. And they are free. Yes, FREE.
Filter Forge is an amazing new Photoshop plugin that lets you create your own filters (Standard and Advanced editions) or to run already created ones (Basic edition) from a gallery of more than 2500 user submitted filters. You can read a tutorial I wrote about creating a rocks textures using Filter Forge, to learn more about this plugin.
You can also download a 30 days fully functional demo version of Filter Forge and try it yourself. Or you can download any of these ten huge 1000×1000 grunge, rusty and dirty textures.
I’m quite sure that many of you had the chance to try those wonderful Triazzle™ puzzles that are being sold at toys stores all over the country. Triazzle™ puzzles were invented by Dan Gilbert, a Graphic Artist, Product Designer and founder of the Dan Gilbert Art Group, after a request from the National Aquarium in Baltimore to create something special for a new exhibit. That original puzzle was never released, but some years later the DaMert Company expressed their interest in that original brain teaser and shortly they began a collaborative work to produce one of the best selling products of its kind for many years.
It is very common to find tutorials about making page curls. Many of those tutorials are great, but the final effect is very unrealistic, not because of the quality of the tutorial, but due to the 3d nature of the effect. If you feel the urge of creating 3d paper effects, I suggest you to take a look at the superb PageCurl Pro plugin from AVBros to take care of all your 3d paper effects needs.
Filter Forge is an incredibly powerful new Photoshop Plugin. It’s simply amazing. It gives you the power to create your own filters (you must run them from inside Filter Forge though) without any programming knowledge at all. Some technical knowledge about procedural textures and image processing helps a lot but it is not indispensable.
