  Anyone? I need this for my school assignment.   ;Quote:Original post by WayniacAnyone? I need this for my school assignment.This is a fairly specific subject - it might take more than a couple of days to get any number of replies from people who actually buy textures as part of their work.   ;  Thank you for the reply, also, for future viewers, it can be those to download them for free aswell.   ;  I have done a few projects with stock textures before, although not related to games. If that helps here you go.Quote:Original post by WayniacBehavior (Below is in relation to searching for or working with textures)Not to sure what you mean by that. The site we used for the textures ?- Websites: http://www.arroway-textures.com/- Applications: 3dsmax- Tools: n/a- Texture website pros: high quality textures, not expensive- Texture website cons: ?Quote:Original post by WayniacMotivation / Goals (Below is in relation to searching for or working with textures)- Reasons you use a texture website: cheaper and quicker than doing it inhouse for standard stock textures- Is there anything you would like to see a texture website have: high quality textures (doh ;)- Specify if you, or your company purchases textures: company does- If multiple sizes were available, do you select the size you need or download the largest: the largest- Approximately how much time do you spend searching for textures on an average project: no idea, didn't keep track- On average, how many textures do you down for a project: depends on the project, from a few dozen to several thousands- Do you prefer textures be seemless or unmodified for the user: depends on the texture. If the texture is supposed to be tileable and the tiling is well done by a professional, then I prefer seamless ones.- If a subscription option was available to inform you of the newest textures, would you subscribe: no- Regardless if you would subscribe or not, how often do you believe a subscription with new textures informing the user should be sent out: do you mean a newsletter ? 'Subscription' implies paying a fee. In the former case, maybe every six months.- Assuming you would pay for textures, would you prefer a subscription method todownload X amount of images over a period of time or pay for X amount of creditsto purchase the images that won't expire (If other, please specify): pay per texture + packs classified by subject.;  Thank you Yann, this is very good information.
