Free textures
Hi all,
after reading the last post in the 'Golden Text' thread, I came up with a number of textures myself. I packed the in a zip archive, and anyone here on the list is free to download them for personal use.
I'm actually not sure if those textures tile; an attempt to perform the 'Tile...' option in the Gimp didn't give good results, so I left them as they are. I really enjoyed making those textures, and I think the quality is really good.
Sample:
http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/downloads/tiles_samples.jpg
zip archive:
http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/downloads/textures.zip
The archive contains both preview images (120x120, as JPEG's), as well as the textures themselves as .xcf files (400x400).
Hope you like them,
Claus

Sure doesn't work on my system, unzipping resulted in a bunch of error messages and only two files.
alligator_skin.xcf wood_03_th.jpg
I could display the jpg, but the gimp (2.6.4 on fedora10) would not open the xcf file.
The texture look nice, though. Let us know when the archive is fixed.
Cheers,
Mike

Sorry, the file got corrupted somehow. I'm using Ubuntu's archive manager, and it seems that there's a problem with zip files. I now created a tar.gz archive. I'm not sure if utlilites such as WinZip support this, but currently I have no other option. (I could also try .jar, which I never used before).
So, the new URL is
http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/downloads/textures.tar.gz

WinZip does support tar.gz
JAR is just a zip file with some extra metadata
I would be _shocked_ if you couldn't just zip this yourself. It isn't
hard, if you want maximum compression...

Ok, the textures are now available at

and

Claus,
Hi there. That's much better. Both of those are fine.
Thanks,

The files should contain an statement regarding the usage and distribution. Currently, distribution by anyone else then you is disallowed under many jurisdictions, and derived works will be complicated from a legal point of view.

Hi,
I compiled another zip archive with textures, which contains both tileable versions of some of the textures from the first archive, plus some additional ones. In the meantime, I included a README file and licensed all of the textures under a Creative Commons license:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/
The new archive can be found at

Sorry to be ignorant, but how does one include these files in Gimp's textures? Adrian

Hi Adrian,

under Linux, there's a hidden subdirectory $HOME/.gimp-[version]/patterns. If you save the textures there with the extension .pat (after opening them in the Gimp), they should be available as Gimp textures (you would have to restart the Gimp first).
Under Windows (I'm not familiar with MacOS), there should be a directory with the same name (most likely [Drive]:\Program Files\gimp-[version]\patterns.

You can see which folders are relevant for your system in the preferences:

Thanks very much Claus, I am indeed under Linux so this is fine.
