When I take my camera out to grab some shots of textures I usually come home with literally hundreds of images. The really amazing ones, I release in the Colorburned Shop. The good ones get released as freebies and the others get held over just in case. The other day I was looking through some of my old sand images and I realized that some of them, while not technically textures, were good enough to be released as freebies on my site. When I go through my images I try to distinguish between what's a texture and what's a photo. In my mind a texture is any kind of image that you can skin a 3D model with. A photo is just about everything else.Included in this set are 21 high resolution textures of the sand and ocean from a trip I recently took to the beach.
I've been meaning to add some more free textures to the site for quite some time. Lately, I've been a little busy with other projects and just haven't had much time to put a set of textures together. Today, I am releasing 8 high resolution images of bark.
Today, I am releasing Part 2 of the Waterfalls texture set. Waterfalls Part 2 includes 19 free high resolution images of waterfalls. I apologize for the delay in the release of this set but with the launch of the Colorburned Shop last week I had to adjust my posting schedule a bit.
Today, I'm happy to announce the grand opening of the Colorburned Shop. The Colorburned Shop is geared towards offering professional quality resources to graphic designers. Its mission is to help graphic designers quickly build a massive reserve of resources for use in their projects. Instead of selling photos one at a time, our goal is to offer a huge set of images at a very low cost. This gives designers the option to choose which photo or texture to use so that each of their designs is unique. On our site you'll find a growing number of textures that you will not find anywhere else.
Today, I am releasing the newest addition to my texture sets. Waterfalls Part 1 includes 17 free high resolution images of waterfalls. I've always been fascinated with water flowing over rocks. When I saw this waterfall I knew that I had to snap some photos of it. These images would make a great background for any graphic that you may be working on where you need a thin layer of water flowing over stone. I hope you enjoy them.
Over the last month I've added over 300 free high resolution beach related textures to the website. Fortunately, I still have considerably more textures to post but in the meantime I wanted to round them all up and put them into one place so you guys could download them all easily.
Today, I am releasing Parts 3 and 4 of the Waves set. Parts 3 and 4 include 73 high resolution textures of waves in various states. I like these sets a lot because they show so much water movement, lots of bubbles and light reflection. They are great images to use for any kind of graphic where you need moving water flowing over sand or some kind of rock.
I just arrived back home from my two week excursion to New York City. New York was great! I really love that town. There's so much to do there. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck finding a job there but I had a great time and I'm going to stay positive and keep looking. Something will pop up eventually.
Since I'm a little behind on things I wanted to post a couple texture sets for you guys to save a little time. So today I am releasing Parts 1 and 2 of the Waves set. Waves is a nice set of textures. Parts 1 and 2 include 70 high resolution textures of waves in various states. I like these sets a lot because they show so much water movement, lots of bubbles and light reflection. They are great images to use for any kind of graphic where you need moving water flowing over sand or some kind of rock.
This week I am releasing my Rocks and Pebbles Texture Pack. This is by far one of the smallest packs that I am releasing. I thought about saving the smaller packs for last but I decided that I'd rather end with a bang than a splat. This set contains 5 images of rocks and pebbles. Some of these rocks are dry and some of them are beneath a few inches of still water. This gives some of the images a rippled effect which I think is kind of cool.
Today I am finally releasing Part 4 of my four part set of wet sand textures. Part 4 is probably my favorite set. Not only is Part 4 the biggest set with 34 images, it is also the most varied of all the ones I've released so far. In this set you can find lots of foam, rocks and even a little muddy sand.
Hello from New York City! Today, I'm releasing Part 3 of my wet sand textures. Part 3 contains 23 high resolution photos of wet sand. These photos are a little wetter than the previous images. I hope you like them!
Here is Part 2 of my four part set of Wet Sand Textures. This set contains 29 high resolution textures available for free. Enjoy!
I spent some time last week processing all those textures I took while on vacation last month. As it turns out, I have a lot to give away; so many in fact that I have to adjust my posting schedule a bit so that you guys don't have huge download times and so that I don't kill my server. What this means is that for the next two weeks, I'll be posting this set in four parts; two parts a week. Each set contains around 23 - 34 textures ranging around 65 megabytes in size.
I just returned from vacation in Puerto Vallarta. I had a great time! It was so relaxing to be away from everything. The weather was perfect, the beach was beautiful and the people were very nice.
Being on a beach gave me an opportunity to do something that I've wanted to do for quite a while; assemble a collection of sand and water textures. I spent a little of each day walking around with my Canon S3 IS taking pictures of various objects and after all was said and done, I took over 400 photos.
More information after the jump.
