note, please don't suggest the freestuff area. they put morphs and textures in one lumped mess, so far I have found only morphs and no textures.. hence me asking!

anyone got any links for Free V3 textures? (has to be free, I have zero budget. really.  all I have,  thats in my pocket is lint...) *

You're better off using the Browse feature of the Freestuff section than search. I found several skins mixed with morphs on the very first page here. Usually when an item has the nudity thumbnail it's a texture so check those too. There are some nice star trek skins for Andorians, Vulcans and Orions for V3 and M3 packaged together on the first page.

Here's some on ShareCG Here and Here

This is a great one, the eyes are amazing.

Here's one with a set for V2 and V3 in the same download. A V3 Drow Set. A whole Character + Outfit + Skin Texture set. Here's Desi!!

thanks for those.. should have stated tho - no makeup, no idiotic tatoos, no aliens.... I just want plain human v3 textures... (and to avoid searching 15 pages of links which give minimal information! - you know most of the descriptions don't even say if a textures included? I don't have the bandwidth or inclination to download everything....)...sorry ranting.. )

I will not rise to the bait. I just linked to at least 3 good skin textures in my previous post. Kinda sorry I made the effort now.

erm what bait? sorry if your offended by something, but no "bait" was put out. if you see any, then your reading things that are simply not there.

your first link is to freestuff. I clearly explained my issues there. the 2nd, huge make up. no good for my purposes, the third, was along the lines I was looking for and I got it. thank you.

AerySoul still have their V3 character Luna for download.  Scroll down past the middle of the page and get both the body base texture and the make up textures.http://www.aerysoul.com/freebies.html

Here's another one for an older lady. http://www.sharecg.com/v/19370/Poser/Custom-Morph/Texture-for-V3

Don't forget that A3 and S3 maps will also work.  Here's a second skin for A3.  http://www.sharecg.com/v/20715/Poser/NardiaLite-2-for-A3

and more A3 textures. http://www.sharecg.com/v/32815/Poser/Noel-for-A3

Also check out http://www.artraiders.com.  You need to register but they have many free textures (mostly for V4) but also some V3 onese (check the last 5 pages or so).

ETA:  I was busy posting links that I didn't see all the other answers above or your restrictions on makeup, etc. 

for the renders I'll be doing, tatoos, heavy make up and aliens are just not acceptable* ;)

thanks for those links, I found some ones I can use :D

*we're talking archtectural renderings of building designs. having an andorian woman talking to a woman with huge tatoos over 60% of her body.....no. just nooooo.

Well it would have been nicer if you had stated those "Nonos" in the first post before I went searching for stuff for you. There were items in Freestuff that weren't alien and didn't have makeup on them but you shot the whole thing down. The bait I was referring to was your ranting after I spent time doing something for you for nothing, I'd call that anger bait. I was just walking away from a situation leading me to anger thats all.

okaay. sorry. but it was not intentional and I did say "I should have said". I'll remember in future to word things better.

I can relate; I've done a lot of V3 stuff over the years. A lot of the stuff is morphs, no textures. It's a pain, but looking for 'I used x's textures in this', or 'morph, no textures' etc., is about the only way I've been able to get some textures.

Strangely enough, I found almost all of them in Freestuff here...;) Let me see what I can dig up

Abigail, Lyn, Mia, Onix, Sonia, Vivian, Yamile, Zulema, Darly, Tyra, Olivia, Gabriella, linh, and CipherX is what I have loaded, for V3. I think it's mainly V4 that has tatoos and aliens (is that a band name or what?...;), but I made sure not to include either.

Hope that helps. There's skins for Aphrodite, too, though not that many...yet.

Bice's site is a good source for free textures.

On the downloads page, scroll down. Several characters there. Jean is especially good.

Bunch of mature ladies  for V3, lovely textures all.  When I use V3, I tend to go to these first.

Thank you Rhionon, those are new to me!

Natasha by Valea in freestuff has a plain face base texture with make-up as add-ons. Ignore the thumbnail. Morphs and textures are all separate. Works very well with BBs VSS

Ditto for me too.

Now slightly OT, textures for V4?  So far I have Saha, Adara_Nikisatez, Towernet, Undina, and MilWom.  Any other Freebies?  Jan

http://www.artraiders.com

Lots of V4 textures here, requires registration though but well worth it!

There is a thread at Faeriewylde with links to lots of free V4 textures.

Kalypso and Sazzyazzca, thanks, I checked them out, pretty good stuff there.  Jan

No problems, I tend to spend too much time hunting for freebies.   Goodness knows characters for Vickie, in any incarnation, that aren't 16-25 year old nymphettes are rarer than hens teeth.  When I find them, I grab them, both the V3 and V4 characters are very nice.

I'm in the process of downloading one now Charlene. How many megabytes is it (the 56Kmodem question).  Jan

Charlene is a little over 18 meg.  So not too huge.

Thanks, I guess that the rest are about the same? Yep that size can easily be downloaded in less that an hour.  Jan
