What size are your textures?

[laughing_bun]

they seem pretty good but its not really a great way to display them.

[sampson]

uhh they vary from 1024x1024 to 2048x2048

[skidu]

So are these actually your own photographs then or just stuff of cgtextures?

Also you planning on sharing them at all?

[Addi]

They are interesting looking, they dont seem to tile too badly either. and it is a nice way of showing the textures simply, but they would look even better on meshes, particularly the hay.

Good work though, did you plan to use them on a particular scene?

[AlexanderSmith]

They look good. It'd be nice to see them repeated over a large surface though.

[sampson]

some of them are my own but most of them are just cg textures which i've edited myself to make them tileable.

as for sharing- i might share a 1024 version but not the full size texture- i'm not sure yet.

displaying them wrapped around a ball doesn't really show anything. using an angle that tilts the plane more towards the camera would help.

some of yours i can tell have some tiling issues. Concrete & dirty bricks need less distinct areas. The thing about tiling textures is they can have any distinct marks. Sometimes its hard to notice until you see them tiled a bunch. But depending on how you are using them it might not be an issue.

yeah these are just procedurals for whatever use... and made them for texturing practice aswell.
