I have a hobby of always taking my camera with me when I go some place interesting just in case there are cool textures. I got some pretty funny looks at the zoo when I was taking close up photos of cinder block walls when there were so many cool animals around. I guess you really can't just be "normal" in this profession! Feel free to use these textures for any project, personal or professional. They are my gift to the 3D community. If you do use them, email me or post a comment in my blog so I'll feel like it was worth the effort to put them up. Updated 11/29/2014 - I added 83 new textures to the archive.
		EXTRA TEXTURES Everything that's not a texture photograph goes here. This page has high dynamic range light probe images, textures created from high detail 3d models, normal maps, and other textures that are already processed and ready to be plopped right into your project.
		BARK TEXTURES All kinds of tree bark textures including cactus, pine, oak, maple, palm, etc. There are even some textures of really old trees with ivy vines on them.
		BRICK TEXTURES This set of textures includes mossy brick, dirty brick, colonial brick, Burger King floor tile, cinder blocks, and more.
		CEMENT TEXTURES Here you'll find dirty cement, grimy cement, walls of cement, etc.
		CLOUD TEXTURES These cloud textures are useful for creating sky boxes or reflection maps.
		DOORS AND WINDOWS So far I just have 1 door and a couple of windows in this section from Colonial Williamsburg. Now that I have a category for them, maybe I'll take more images of doors and windows.
		FOLIAGE This section includes leaves, grass, bushes, vines, and lots of green stuff. I've used the grass textures here to make some really cool game art, but painting the alpha channel is a big job!
		GROUND Here you'll find ground textures containing dirt, clover, grass, dead leaves, moss, pebbles, and wood chips. All of the types of things that you'd expect to see on the ground outside.
		LEAVES This category contains pictures of individual leaves. I've got maple leaves, oak leaves, aspen leaves, and some that I don't know.
		METAL Manhole covers, rusty metal, sheet metal, riveted metal, painted metal, brushed metal - all kinds of metal in this section of the texture archive.
		MISCELLANEOUS Everything that doesn't fit in the other categories goes in here. I've got rope, shingles, a danger sign, fences made of bamboo, a rubber mat, and some padlocks.
		SKIN These were fun to make! I smacked my head down on the scanner and scanned away. Looks like a needed a shave that day.
		SNOW Here you'll find images of snow on the ground, snow on bushes, snow on rocks, snow on bark, footprint in the snow, all kinds of snow.
		STONE This collection contains all kinds of rock and stone images. Rock walls, granite, marble, stone sidewalks, etc.
		STUCCO Just a few images of stucco walls in here.
		WATER These images are from the wake of a ferry boat at the outer banks in North Carolina.
		WOOD All kinds of wood in this section - ply wood, wood planks, old weathered wood, wooden benches, wood floors, wood siding, wooden fences, etc.
