A new one I had just found; "Transmogrifying Textures Vol. I" (from Nvidia) (yes, the video card company) Catch #1 - 225+ great textures at various sizes between 128 to 1024, is compilied into one 107Mb .zip file, will be hard for dial-up users to get this. Catch #2 - Texture are in the .dds format. Not a truly big deal, just slightly inconvenient. There is a link that will provide a Photoshop plugin to read/write dds files. Irfanview also will read .dds files. Link to texture zip download; (free) http://developer.nvidia.com/object/IO_TTVol_01.html Link to dds plugins; (free) http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_texture_tools.html Link to IrafnView; (free) http://www.irfanview.com AgentSmith

.dds format pictures are used mostly by video game companies, I know the makers of "Unreal Tournament" use this format. Depending on what you are using to view/convert the .dds picture, you may see multiple size textures in the same document, if you do, you may have to crop the texture to just the 1024x1024 section before you convert.

Very Cool, Thanks AS!!

thanks..now I know what Irafnview does (too happy on the download finger..;)..hmmm.

Thanks AS for this great resorce. 8)

Thanks, AS.

Many Thanks AS.

Did anyone else have problems when opening the zip? I use Stuffit and it told me that the zip was corrupt and when it finally opened the zip I've got in total about 40 items that can be used. Any ideas? Catlin

Agent Smith, Thanks for the link. There's a lot there to look at from a programmers point of view if one tracks the link to the developers homepage. - TJ

muchas gracias senor...Im always lookin for new great textures that I can work with :)

Catlin, make sure the .zip is (about) 107Mb. It might have partially downloaded. If it is 107Mb, maybe try a different unzipping utility? AS

OK thanks AS. 8)

I did It!!! After a Seven hour download. Last time it went to 77% and my ISP clicked me off. I was sweating bullits that last minute I tell ya ;))

BTW, Thanks for the tip AS.........

I wish they'd break it down a little so people using a dialup connection had a chance at it.(I managed to get some of the C code they supplied so I'm not complaining, but the utilities depend on DX9 & PS 7 so I might not be able to use it for any thing for a while.) Anyrate thanks Agent Smith; I didn't know Nvidia was getting that user friendly. I remember paying $100 for a SDK from creative for sound blaster a few years ago, so I didn't expect this! - TJ

I managed to get it all. I think the problem with the first DL was that I was Dl'ing other things at the same time and it is such a massive file it must have got interrupted by the other things. 8) Catlin

Cool, glad you got it! AS
