Flex Your Textures: New plug-in & free downloads
- Luxology, makers of the super cool modo 3D modeling package, have introduced imageSynth, a $99 plug-in for creating tiling textures within Photoshop. Check out the 4-minute video intro to see this interactive approach to tile generation, or see the press release for more info.
- If you'd rather stick with Photoshop's built-in tools, check out Dave Nagel's Texture Generators, a set of 15 actions for creating paper and other rough textures. Dave's article for Digital Producer Magazine links to the actions and walks through how to use them.
- And if you're looking for textures that are good to go as-is (or that can be used as nice seeds for imageSynth, etc.), check out Texture King, a great set of free images offered by site creator REH3design. [Via]
- [Update: Enrique Flouret from The Photoshop Roadmap offers a tutorial on texture creation using the new Filter Forge toolset.]

Wanted to suggest another great free texture site: http://www.texturearchive.com
Along with that there are some great ZBrush Brushes there and some cool Alpha Maps you can use in Photoshop.
[Cool, thanks for the info. --J.]
another good resource with free seamless textures:
