Taproot Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 This topic comes up steadily over time, but as my texture libraries mature, I'm always on the lookout for the best available resources to add to them. This past year, I finally went beyond DIY and free resources and made a "donation" to https://www.sketchuptextureclub.com/ It cost me about $13 USD and provided me with access to the site for the year. I have no affiliation with them, but I can definitely say that the investment was worth it. I've downloaded hundreds of high quality seamless textures and really improved the quality of my 3D renderings as a result. The other plus is that new textures are added over time, so it's not just a static set of files... I'm not looking to be redundant to other posts on the forum, but if you've discovered other great resources please add your 2 cents. 2 Quote Link to comment
fabrica Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 My defaults are https://www.textures.com/ and https://www.poliigon.com/ , the 1k textures on textures.com fine for vector works Quote Link to comment
drelARCH Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I can recommend one source built right in vw: mtextur. File/Import/Import mtextur. I find these textures fine and they are ready for vectorworks. So far I don't use Renderworks, but for OpenGL they are very convenient for me. And I see that there are regularly new added... My own texture library is right now built on these mtextur selection. Said that I miss more natural stone textures choice. Quote Link to comment
Taproot Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 @fabrica I'm glad I asked. Textures.com has some really fine resources ... and @drelARCH I must have missed the memo on mtexture. That's a fabulous resource and imports directly into the resource browser. Excellent! 2 Quote Link to comment
