Hey guys I have been looking at all the work on here for a while. Looks great. Good motivator too to since I know I gotta compete with you guys little later on. I am a recent grad from Rochester Institute of Technology. I majored in digital media, special effects, and 3d animation. I am sure that many of you have looked on the internet for digital textures to use for graphic design or 3d or any digital media application. I used to. I also looked into purchasing a digital texture cd but they were all very expensive. Normally around 150 bucks. Too much for my budget. WHat I have done is compiled a CD of high resolution textures that I have taken professionally and digitized for computer use. There are over 300 images on this cd and I am selling the cd on this web site: http://www.rit.edu/~dtm5581/ft.htm

That is the temp site for now. I hope to have a real short URL name for my company soon.

PLease contact me if you have any questions at [email protected]. I think you guys and gals are all gonna love this CD.

Hi. Welcome to the forum!

I checked out your site, and it looks pretty nice, but you may want to give some more info about what's actually on the CD. Right now all you have is four sample images, with the vague suggestion that the other 300 are useful for textures. Giving some more samples (even if they're tiny thumbnails), or even some general categories that the textures fall into, might be a good idea. You should also say what resolution the textures are, as well as whether or not they wrap.

And if you do give this information somewhere on the site, you may want to consider putting it somewhere more obvious, because I didn't see it.

i thought about that. It currently is not there so you didn;'t miss it. I can go i tomorrow and count how many of each file are there. To answer your questions here. The categories are. Metals, Fabrics, sky, wood, leather, gravel, bark, siding, windows, paint, weather look to paints as well. Some other misc. As for the second question no they can be made to warp and on the cd there is a quick photoshop tutorial on how to crop the area you want and make it wrap seemlessly. The images are scanned in at 600 Dpi and usually are 1000x600 I did not warp them since lots of the textures have alot going on in them some might just want one area of the texture and may not want to include other areas of the image where paint or rust might be for instance. If this goes over fairly decent I will make 3 new cds one with images ready to eat out of the box. And just a whole cd of metals, and one of nature. etc. If you have any furthere questions I welcome them. I will see what I can do to showcase more... and get a list of imaGES.
