I wonder if someone will direct me to a PROFESSIONAL site for textures, free or commercial.
Please don't waste my time, i mean really FIRST CLASS. Such as this one for example.
www.cgtextures.com
It is the best I found soo far. I would be delighted if there are more! Collections like
"3D Total Textures" and "Marlin Studio Textures" doesn't make the grade! (I have those)
A 1000 thanks beforehand!

silverblade33, Thank you!
textures.forrest.cz
Really an amazing small but exqusite collection. I can't find any licence, is it really free?
www.tiledtextures.com/shoppe
To pay for every single image one by one is too much to ask for. Also it is very difficult to evaluate an image with 4 watermarks on it..:)

lemog is fantastic for many reasons, I knew about him already!
www.doschdesign.com
It is difficult with Dosch, their stuff are usually good but you take a risk not knowing what you buy. "Private life" was money wasted...
I am trying to evaluate www.environment-textures.com right now. Too early to say.
I remember I saw I saw an excellent site selling texture for Second Life, surly they can used like any other texture? But I can't find it again! :(
Once again, thanks!

The problem is that so many sites confuse and mix texture and ordinary photographs. Photos taken that are not perpendicular to the motive (building or whatever) it is of very little use.
Check out amazingtextures,

They do it correctly. Very few do.

For building textures, Arroway appear exceptional, although I've not purchased from them (yet)..

Izaro,
The arroway collection is top of the class and I probably will buy from them in the furture but to be more specific, - what I really need just right now is windows, doors and ornaments, cornices and borders like. Shot right on in 90 degree angle typical texture style, not like a photograph..
Jonj1611,
Exatly what I wanted. What is to say? Only one thousand million thanks!
