   Making textures
  There are thousands of sites dealing with textures.  Can anyone recommend specific sites they like that provide textures and more preferably, how to make various types of textures for both 2D and 3D games.  Both realistic and more abstract textures are of interest.  Thanks 
  ....bump! ;  Jeremy Engleman has some photographs posted of various textures.  I''ve downloaded and used quite a lot of these for various purposes, though since they are whole, unedited photos, they take some processing.  His site is at www.art.net/~jeremy/photo/public_texture/Another site I have downloaded many high-quality photographs from is www.mayang.com.Renfield imaging ( www.renfield-imaging.50megs.com ) has some pretty nice abstract textures.Hope this helps   Joshvertexnormal AT email DOT comCheck out Golem at:My cheapass website;  To make something a texture, all you need to do is make it so that it doesn''t appear to have borders.  (IE Offset the picture, and blur any line there might be.  There are actually a couple programs that will generate textures as well.  You can make your own though if you have a digital camera and a decent art program like Photoshop (most people at least have access to it...).  Just take a picture of your wall or something, offset horizontally, blur the border together, offset vertically, do the same thing, and you have a texture.-=Lohrno ;  Thanks for the links.
