Here is a list of links that were in the Archives.

This is the task at hand:

• Choose one Link at a time.
• Post a Reply in this thread which link (by Name)
• Investigate the link.
• Send an Instant Message to me for EACH link.

            Content for Each Instant Message:
            - Name of Link
            - Valid or bad link
            - A brief description of the webstie content.
               (you can use their wording or your own to desribe the content)
                Please keep descriptions to a couple sentences because along with these
                will be many others we all have between us.

As each link has a reply post, I will remove it from this master list. When all are gone from the master list, we've accomplished one step.

Thanks everyone for your help.

The document you requested was not found. May we suggest our home page*?

• Site appears to be dead now.

Mayang's Free Textures

site down until April 2008 due to server hardware issues

graphics resources - 3D modeling - graphic art - tv - film - special effects (www.technoweenie.com/graphics/textures/) is under constructions with links to porn site. Nothing on there to indicate that it has anything of value to the Bryce community.

Search for textures is dead. Server not found.

Bitmaps is  www.nikclark.com/materials_bitmap.htm which is the site for High Resolution Bitmap Textures. Very limited. Not really worth space on the bookmarks.

These are great, We'll be putting together an entire list. I have tons more, which I'm sure others do to.

This list was a leftover in the Bryce Backroom, just wanted to clean up this list while I'm going through the other 500 megs of stuff that was there.

Bryce Art - alles was ihr schon immer für Bryce haben wolltet - Texturen,Downloads,Tutorials

Is there and working although being all in German it takes a bit of trial and error to find anything specific - plus I don't know what the licencing is...

or the Bryce Objects. They are.... jibberish to me and no images so can't figure that bit out...

Looks like this:

Tutorials... well, okay if you understand German I guess.

But the textures are all there.

Oh that's sad...
MORGUEFILE.COM free stock photos archive
is dead - 404'd on me.

Imageafter Free Images and Textures Database
Image*After is a large online free photo collection. You can download and use any image or texture from our site and use it in your own work, either personal or commercial.

This is working just fine.

Astral Graphics actual link address:
http://www.astralgfx.de/texturen.html

and a translation of the licence:

everything texturen on this seiten are free © by metadesigns and only for private ones or layoutzwecke. If you want to use one texturen in commercial projekten, I ask you to contact me

Of course that's an online translation from an online site I found...

Oh and the textures seem to be all there.

But there are no 3D Objects, that page says (after translation) that this part of the site is still under construction but a similar disclaimer/licence notice is there.

weerfotograaf - Clouds!
404's - totally

Munkh3yMagnet
This one is strange, it looks like it's there but everytime you try to download a texture, the download page 404's on you, I tried the forums too, and although they loaded up okay, and said there was one guest... that too then slipped into a 404 page.

So I guess that's dead too.  Shame.

Grahamages
this one "Page Load Error"'s on you.

WPanorama - Download panoramic pictures

This one's okay - the panorama's are all there.

Grahamages_free_textures
This is the same as Grahamages
and dead.

Free Samples of Texture Maps and Clip Art for 2D 3D Graphics

This one's working fine.

3D Texture - big
 
Dead

Correct Proportion Online Reference Gallery for Artists

No actual gallery there that I could find, just a lot of links to other places.  Unfortunately those links that I tried seem to be meant to go to images - but all you see are blank pages.

So I'd say this is dead too. Not useful anyway.

3dtronic Textures Homepage

Page Load Error's on you, so Dead.

Very much alive - and gorgeous images.

Well, what do you expect? It's a site for dead files.  :lol:

Ian Alexander's Natural Patterns, Wallpapers & Backgrounds Library

This is alive - and a great resource!  (I especially like the wall of HardKnott Fort - which is near where I used to live).

CTF Pictures

Dead

Abnormal Human and Monster Textures - Afterlife.de

Alive although not a lot of stuff here, the organic spaceship tutorial is interesting though.

Steve's Digicams Macro & Closeup Samples - Page 15

Alive and a fabulous resource for modelling - the photos are so detailed!  Insects, watches, circuit boards, flowers etc etc.

Index of -~phil-day-N=D-

Not found so Dead.

Index of -Membres-Jean-Dominique.Gascuel-DEAIVR-Blender-TheBlenderBook-DigitalDesignBox

Dead - page not found.

WTP Mars Canyon and Volcanoes

This is alive but really just informative, not a resource for images or textures or models, but interesting all the same. (A NASA Site)

Animation Master Materials from Animation Pit Stop
Not sure if this should be classed as alive or dead, as there are no materials there but there are links to animation sites, including the very recent release "Spiderwick Chronicles".
If you just go to http://www.animationpitstop.com/ you get exactly the same list of links, but no link to materials or textures...... so I dunno.

General Images from FLSuncoast.com
Um...
This also goes to the same "AnimationPitStop" link list.  If it's meant to then that's alive - if not then it's dead.

Traditional Spanish tiles from the Spanish Tile Company

Page not found so - dead.

Chain raschel allover lace - Hwacheon Trade Co.

A library of high resolution textures

And it certainly is, very high res and a fascinating variety, not lots of images but what there is, is excellent.  Alive.

Texturama.com

Dead.

Textures Volume 1

Looks alive but every link leads to a blank page, dead.

NOCTUA Graphics Website
Alive - has textures that can be used in Bryce - 459 of them, plus some materials and shaders for Cinema4D.

The 3D Studio - Textures

Not sure if this is dead or just obstructive since it wanted me to register, but when I did I got this message:

Download productsIn order to help other members find the best resources it is important that you rate any products that you download. After you download your files go to the product review page to rate and review any products you have downloaded.

Products available for download You currently do not have any products available for download.

You can however get to a page to buy textures, but as I have no money I couldn't test that out...

So... dunno on this one.  But the actual link you have posted gives you this message:
" Oops!It looks like we had a little problem just now, sorry about that.

If you got this page by following a link from another site then chances are good they have a bad link. Either way, we have recorded this error and will try and correct the problem.

In the mean time, use the links above to browse around."

So I'd say that particular link is dead, but the site may not be...
