Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone
Eric Matyas replied to Eric Matyas's topic in Game Development
Happy Thursday Everyone, I've created some cool new metal texture images and uploaded them onto this page on my site: TXR - METAL - (Tile-able) https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/ As always, they're 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other images, music tracks and sounds. Speaking of which, I have... BIG NEWS -- FREE HIGHER-QUALITY OGG TRACKS ARE ON THEIR WAY! For those of you who use my music tracks, specifically my looping ones... Wordpress apparently now supports Ogg music files, so I'm in the process of replacing all my looping Mp3 tracks on my site with even higher-quality Ogg versions! Besides sounding more rich and full, the Ogg versions always loop seamlessly in game engines...(Mp3 files sometimes need to be edited...this is due to the Mp3 encoding process which sometimes discards a tiny bit of audio information at the looping point...very annoying.) Anyhow, I'm very excited to be able to make the higher-quality Ogg versions available to my fellow creatives! Standard tracks (and those that don't have to loop seamlessly) will remain in Mp3 format so video creators can use them... (Premiere doesn't seem to support the Ogg format.) For those of you who want to bulk-download all of my Ogg tracks at once, my Ogg Music packs will still be available. It's taking some time, but I'm making very good progress...hopefully I'll have all my looping game music tracks converted soon. Enjoy! :-D -
Hi everyone, I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to freely use in your projects. They are all original...all my own work. I think a lot of them could be made into cool textures for games. All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage: http://soundimage.org/ The images are on my "TXR" pages. I'm adding new ones all the time, so be sure to check back often. I sincerely hope that some of them are useful. Any and all constructive feedback is welcome and always appreciated. :-) All the best, Eric

Hello Fellow Creatives, I've created some brand new seamless texture images to share with the community. You'll find them at the top of these pages on my site: TXR - ABSTRACT https://soundimage.org/txr-abstract/ TXR - CONCRETE - Tile-able https://soundimage.org/txr-concrete-pavement-seamless/ NEVER A.I. GENERATED I recently got a question asking how I create my images and if they're A.I. generated. All of my images start as digital pictures of real-world objects that I take with my DSLR. I then import these images into Photoshop and work with them to create unique textures. Everything I create is 100% original (including my music and sounds) so content creators never have to worry about copyright issues when using my assets. My Site is 100% Ad-Free and Community Supported If you find my assets helpful, please consider making small contribution to support my efforts. I honestly hate asking, but I do pay for everything myself including my music gear which is very expensive, so contributions from the community really help me a lot. Here are some ways you can help: Donate (any amount is helpful and much appreciated) https://soundimage.org/donate/ Get my Ogg Game Music Mega Pack (over 1400 tracks and growing) https://soundimage.gumroad.com/l/ylyre Get an Ogg Genre Music Pack https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ That said, enjoy, stay safe and keep creating awesome stuff. :-) -

Sharing is Caring! More brand new music tracks to share with you: On my Fantasy 13 page: "80’s PRINCESS" So 80s! Anyhow, I thought this piece might sound nice in an 80's-themed fantasy or romance game. https://soundimage.org/fantasy-13/ On my Funny 8 page: "QUIRKY WESTERN TOWN" I’d love to hear this in a humorous western game or film. Very quirky indeed! https://soundimage.org/funny-8/ As always, they're 100% free to use in your projects with attribution. Attribution information is here: https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/ PLEASE CONSIDER... My website is completely ad-free and I pay for everything myself, including my synthesizers which are very expensive...so expensive in fact that I make monthly payments on them. If you can, please consider making small donation to support my efforts. I really do hate to ask, but contributions from the community really help me a lot. Here are some ways you can help: https://soundimage.org/donate/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ Or consider hiring me to create some custom music for you...I try very hard to make it affordable for everyone. :-) https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Anything you can manage will be super-helpful. In the meantime, enjoy my work, please stay safe and keep creating! -
