I'm looking for various fabric, leather cloth, denim texture packs, merchant package type, where you can resell what you make with them, if you want.
Anyone know of really good packs? Don't have to be strictly from rendo.
I'm cruising our MP, but I'm little bewildered by what I'm finding, or not finding there.

I bought two or three texture packs in the past, and was a bit disappointed with them. Mainly because of relatively low resolution or clarity of images.

I'm making my own textures too, between scanning, photographing and using couple programs to create textures.
I wonder what some of the top texturing merchants do...  

Seems like there is an abundance of dirt, metal, brick and various other textures, but not nearly as many fabrics...
Yes, I have the urge to texture some Poser clothing :tt2:

Have you looked on 3d.sk?  They sometimes have clothes references.  Not specifically fabric - more like whole costunes and suchlike - but you may find something you can use there.

Thanks Sam, I hadn't thought of that site... off to look :)

Edit: some photo references there, but I haven't found too much...  Hmmm...

HI hon,

You can easily take a small swatch and tile it in Photoshop by importing it and then setting is a tile under the Edit drop down menu "Define Pattern".  Then using your template, select, inverse and remove the background so you have just the defined shape, double click into the layers area on that one and up will pop the Layer Style.   Choose your "Pattern Overly" scroll down the available patterns and find the one you just defined and watch the magic!!   You can tile it smaller or bigger by using the Scale slider!!  Once you have that done then you can add what ever else you want to add from the Layer Style dialog and click OK and then once back right click on the layer and choose "Rasterize Layer" to make it permanent (you will want to Duplicate the layer so you have a working copy of it first. 

Hope that helps you out a bit. 

Off to work now..... Sigh......

some stuff at Mayang

I have had unfortunate experiences with texture packs. They have been sold as seamless and tiling but they turn out to be "seamless" on account of a blurred-out seams rather than careful cloning and having ill-placed texture features or lighting effects that make the tiling look ridiculous.

Check at www.cgtextures.com. The license permits to use them for commercial products.
They have some good seamless fabric textures.

Of course, if someone has other good links, or texture packs in any MarketPlace, i would be interested too (you never have enough textures ;P )

Thanks guys, I'll try all of the above :)

RAMWolfee, I tried doing photoshop tiling, and I'm never very happy with it. I think I want things to be perfect :(  I'll keep trying. I scoured my house for interesting looking fabrics, and scanned about 15 or so over the weekend. LOL, I"m scanning 8x10 worth at 600 DPI. That should give me sole room to take out irregularities. Now I have to make them seamless. 
Interesting, when you scan a jersey shirt at 600 DPI, and zoom to the pixel level, it looks like a ribbed knit! HA!

I want textures that are of at least this quality http://www.texturematic.com/details.php?gid=99&sgid=&pid=1573
(I maye have to wait a bit to subscribe to that site... We'll see, their fabric section has several interesting ones, but not a LOT of those that trip my trigger.

Thanks Frank :) I already have most of tex from mayang... it's a really good site.

Thanks Vnce for the cgtextures tip :)  I haven't noticed that one before.

Also... Does anyone know of a software that assist in making seamless patterns? Not textures, but repeating patterns, sort of escher style.
LOL, I tried googling them, and I keep getting software for regular sewing patterns. I can't think of a good search word :(

ImageSynth from Luxology. That 's the one that comes in my mind.
It's a plugin for Photoshop.

edit:

After seeing your example texture, you could easily use a plain fabric seamless texture and add those colored stripes in another layer and play with the styles to inlay in the fabric.

Dogwaffle creates seamless textures from photos as well. They're called 'brushes' but you can export them. This feature is probably in the free version of the program. It's great for building Deep Paint brushes.

FilterForge will do the trick.. There are some really good fabric filters already and they are all seamless.

Little bird told me the other day that Bagginsbill has some method for creating tilable patterns.  Might want to check that, I haven't had the chance yet.

There's a FilterForge library of seamless textures online and perfectly adequate, even at a small resolution. I wonder if these textures can be used without violating copyright.

I'm tinkering with Filter Forge Demo right now... It's very similar to Genetica (which I purchased few months ago).
It does some thigs better then genetica, some things not as good. I think a combo of those two would make a nice texture generating package.

Moyra over at DAZ has some really nice Merchant resource packs which include excellent fabric resources. here is one example http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=5443

I agree with the suggestion of Moyra's texture packs.  They're excellent.  I also love the Ultimate Digital Fabric/Craft packs by Diandra.  Most of them are here on Rendo, but she has a couple of them on DAZ, recently.

www.tiledtextures.com has some excellent leather, velvet, and denim.  Good prices, too.

Thanks for the info :)
LOL, Daz tells me that I apparently already purchased jewels of architectures... I may have to reset the download. Who knows where that file eneded up... in the bowels of my unsorted downloads I presume.

The free version I use outputs fairly small textures, but being seamless they look great with UV tiling.

Thanks Moogal, I forgot all about texture maker! slaps forehead

If anyone else is following this, here's another tidbit I became more aware of this weekensd: Another place that has a few nice free textures (mostly for personal use only) is deviant art! www.deviantart.com

You can always give a mail to the REAL author of the filter and the REAL AUTHOR of the texture..

I made some textures that you are welcome to use any way that you like. They aren't seamless, but the tiles are 1200 x 1200 pixels.
