Hm, well I'm having the same problem. I've removed the link from this thread. If the site is just having some temporary trouble, I'll add it back when the trouble clears up. Thanks, Myske! :)

Here is some seamless palm trees barks I made. Alla took the pictures and I made them seamless. There on her site but I'll post a link here so they don't get lost on the forum. There is a few rocks here to and a sky all seamless. She's got more suff there to so you may want to check out her site after you download them. Her site: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/byallassyde/ This is the tread where we worked it all out and there is even a cool tree link also on the thread. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12368&Form.ShowMessage=1079672

Tree textures are something that everyone is always looking for, have you noticed. This is great though, it's not often you get these textures seamless. Thank you very much MightyPete and give my thanks to Alla too. Cat Hi gebe I told you I'd be back. 8)

how do you put .jpg image maps into Vue, as materials? When I tried, Vue only took .mat files and nothing else.
Cheers posted Fri, 16 June 2006 at 10:53 AM
Can I just remind people that apart from these sites, the best way to get textures tailored exactly for your needs is to walk around with a camera.
Most people have a digi cameras now and even cheaper low mega pixel versions have more than enough resolution for most textures.
Besides, it cuts out all the restrictions of copyright and leaves you use them totally freely. If you make it a habit to walk everywhere with a a camera (even a camera phone), you will soon build up a huge texture library.

I don't have any links at the moment but another great source for textures is do a Google for wallpaper and paint stores...They have lots of free samples...
