Great site Doug. They require membership, but if you are going to use their images for youself and not for resale, the membership is free.


The following statement came from their website - Members/Free Account:



I'm not allowed to resell or spread these images as 'textures' or in texture packs, not even when modified.
The images cannot be used for 'scrapbooking' purposes.

Registering multiple accounts will get all my accounts deleted. Use only 1 account on your computer!

Thanks Greg...I just registered and waiting approval.  I just found a page I like under "Manmade/Sewer" full of manhole covers. Also look under "Signs/Letters and Numbers", looks to me like good stuff for Railroad Markers.

Doug,


CG Textures is a great resource for us modelers of all scales.


The other day I gave a clinic on roofs, and showed several roofs I had "roofed" using asphalt and shingle texture images from this company.


I'm also using a sheet of concrete texture to make a tunnel liner.


Lots of possibilities here!
