Building a Library of Images for Everyone
Tuesday, January 10, 2017 - 09:09
Hi everyone,
I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to use in your projects. They are all original...all my own work. I think a lot of them could be made into cool textures for games. All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage:
The images are on my "TXR" pages.
I'm adding new ones all the time, so be sure to check back often. I sincerely hope that some of them are useful. Any and all constructive feedback is welcome and always appreciated. :-)
All the best,
Eric
I've got a bunch of new fantasy stone and metal images ready...both standard and seamless. I think they look pretty cool. Make sure to left click on them to see the full sized images. You'll find them here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
I'll be out and about this week searching for new textures to photograph. If anyone has any requests for certain types of images, I'll be happy to keep my eyes open for them. Just let me know. :-)
Eric
Hi everyone,
I photographed a lot of cool textures last week that I'm sure could be used in all kinds of things. You'll find them here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-brick/
http://soundimage.org/txr-concrete/
http://soundimage.org/txr-ground/
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
http://soundimage.org/txr-vegetation/
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/
Again, if anyone has requests for certain types of images, I'll be happy to keep my eyes open for them. Just let me know. :-)
Have a good week,
Eric
You've got a nice collection of textures going! I'll let you know if I use any of them to make something with :D
I just started figuring out some things to do with textures, so it's pretty exciting!! A suggestion for some if you may come across them~ sponges and or glass (glass just was a random thought, not sure how one would go about doing hat one :p)
Thanks for checking out my images...I hope some of them are useful!
Sponges as in the animal? Or as in man-made ones that people use in their kitchens?
Both types, as much sponge related / derived textures :) as possible. I was able to catch a stock photo from another site that has textures, but they only had 1 sponge. Then I was like... there are so many kinds of sponges to pull texture from! Happy hunting!!
I'll see what I can do. :-) Any colors for sponges? And any thoughts about glass textures? Stained glass? Tiffany glass?
tiffany and stained glass textures would be nice too!! I haven't seen one yet, but I'm sure they would look nice as material for some 3D models. There are so many patterns and color variations for those too. As for sponge color, any would be beneficial for your colelction. I was personally looking to see what I could do with the porous looks. You could throw the bottom of a kitchen songe texture on a shell-like object and probably make some coral. The sponge texture I found was a yellow dish sponge, snapped shotted from the bottom view of it and its side. Which you could throw the side view of that on some crazy alien looking stretched cube for a platform.
Some other cool texture I found were circular objects, like doorbells or elaborate clocks. I also was able to get construction zone / skyscraper textures, like elongated bars with bolts down the sides.
I am only applying the textures I'm finding to 2D UI elements at this time. I haven't even begun to do 3D, which is just like soooo much to take in. But messing around the materials in Unity game engine, I was understanding some possibility of implications. Also I looked into this... UV wrapping, because I wanted to animate a waterfall in my pixel scene I drew. In photoshop, I animated with the timeline, but then after putting the scene into unity it was no longer animating. I was like... how can I get this waterfall to animate? Then was getting into all this other blender parallax, and other terms I can't recite at this time. looolll
I bookmarked your site and will periodically check for updates :D
Okay, I'll see what I can find on my travels. :-)
Eric Matyas your web page is amazing.
I don't need textures (yet) but I discover your sounds and songs they are fabulous.
I will take some for my projects and I will write an attributtion for you.
It's very good all this job that you make for us.
Kindes regards.

You're very welcome...thanks for checking out my work!
A whole bunch of new seamless texture images are ready for everyone on the following pages:
TXR - Brick
TXR - Concrete/Pavement
TXR - Foliage
TXR - Ground
TXR - Stone
TXR - Wood
Feel free to generate maps from them (displacement, specular, etc) as needed. If you need me to create them custom for you, drop me an email...(my email address is at the bottom of my homepage.)
I hope some of them are helpful!

No problem...I hope some of my images are helpful!
Hi everyone,
I've opened a new page of free sky images that might come in handy in your projects:
http://soundimage.org/txr-skies/
I also added a bunch of new wood images here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/
I hope some of them are helpful!
This week's new free images are on my TXR - WOOD page. At the top, I've added a bunch of smooth wood images that might come in handy for interiors. Some have dents and other signs of wear.
If you scroll down (way down) to Seamless Textures, you'll find about 20 "fantasy wood" images...(I'm experimenting with creating different looks.)
Anyhow, they all live here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/
I hope some of them are helpful!
Hi everyone,
I've added about 100 new texture images. You'll find them on the following pages:
TXR - BRICK - (some new seamless "fantasy" bricks)
TXR - GROUND - (stones that could be used for riverbeds, railroad beds, etc.)
TXR - METAL - (both standard and seamless)
TXR - ROCK/STONE - (lots of cool rock textures, both standard and seamless...realistic as well as fantasy creations)
TXR - VEGETATION - (some cool ground cover that has a surreal look)
Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
I just began a new page of cool Sci-Fi texture images. Give it a look:
http://soundimage.org/txr-sci-fi/
I'll be adding many more images, including skins for creatures, aliens, etc.
Any requests?
Btw, I've also had folks ask about how to credit me for my images. Please simply list me and my website under "Textures" in your credits section...there's no need to identify which images are mine...unless you really want to. :-)
Anyhow, I think this is going to evolve into a really cool page. Hope it's helpful!
Eric
I need smaller res.. Pixel art ya know haha

Hey Justin,
I'm not a pixel artist, but you're more than welcome to make any of my images any resolution you need. Ejnjoy!
Eric
Thanks Eric also the music sounds amazing in my main menu, using Awkward-Princesss-Day-Out_Looping
-Justin Lewis @ justinlewis195@gmail.com
Awesome...feel free to send me a link if you wish...I'd love to see your game!
Hi everyone,
A bunch of cool new stone images are ready. You'll find them here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
I hope some of them are helpful!
This is cool stuff, nice work Eric Matyas :)
Hi everyone,
This week's new images are all seamless so they can be tiled.
The first group might be useful in sci-fi games. Feel free to scale them, mix with procedural textures or other images as needed.
http://soundimage.org/txr-sci-fi/
The second bunch are stone textures and could be useful for walls or other structures.
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
Please note: On all of my texture pages, the seamless images are grouped below the standard ones so make sure to scroll down...(WAY down on the rock/stone page.)
Anyhow, I hope some of them are helpful. Have a great week!
Hey Eric thought i'd let you know i've been making progress on my games level design. I will be starting a kickstarter in the next few months, one of the perks of donating will be a developers' blog of some sorts if you were interested in seeing how your music would be used before the game's release. I will leave a comment with a link once all is set up.
-Justin Lewis @ justinlewis195@gmail.com
Sounds great, Justin...looking forward to it!
In the meantime...
A bunch of new images are ready:

Hi everyone,
I've uploaded about 50 new metal texture images. Feel free to edit them as needed. You'll find them here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
I hope some of them are helpful!
I've just uploaded about 70 new seamless metal textures. All are 2048X2048. Some have a "camo" look and might work well for military-themed objects. Others have intriguing patterns that might look cool in fantasy-based things. And some are just plain weird looking, but what the heck...give them a look. Hopefully some of them will be helpful.
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
(Scroll down...they live toward the bottom of the page.)
More are on the way. :-)
Hi everyone,
I've uploaded about 20 additional seamless metal texture images to finish out the set from last week. Each is 2048X2048. For anyone who's interested, they all came from a retired DC-7 aircraft. I Hope some of them will be helpful.
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
(Scroll down...they live about half way down the page.)
Have a good weekend!

Hei eric, im looking for music but its quite frustrating to have to listen the music online with an ever more instable flash player and not starting streams. I prefer to download a big batch of music and listen to it from my pc it would be good if your site would have easily accessable bundles like that.

Index doesn't seem protected, as of posting this reply. If it suddenly isn't accessible, Mr.Matyas just fixed it. :P
I hoped it could be provided in a bigger zip file...
You might want to give this a go, if possible bandwidth issues wouldn't outweigh the convenience you're looking for:-
