Free Stock Photos / Textures

Here is another site of tons of free stock photos...mostly for reference. There is a huge section of textures too, all different kinds.

Texture Warehouse

This site contains thousands of images, all free. Most of them are not tileable, so I would call this site for of a stock photo site rather then a texture site. That being said, the images are very high quality and could be used in various ways, including to make textures from quite easily.

Check out the index of images here, I think you will find them useful. Also, check out our previous tutorial here on how to turn these images into tileable textures. Or, if your just looking for free stock images, enjoy!

More Free Stock Photos

Fotolia is a stock photography site that offers several free stock photos per day for download. It is a great deal because they are all really high quality. You do have to sign up for a free account to be able to get them, but it is worth the small effort for all the free photos. Follow the link below and go the the free photos section. Enjoy.

Got3d.com is one of the best free texture resources on the web. Obviously, they have many textures for sale. For these products they offer free samples like the one seen here. There are free shrub, people, and tree downloads.

In addition to these great free samples, there are also thousands of free "raw textures." In other words, lots of images that can be made in to textures with a little work. They are actually quite useful.
