Building a Library of Images for Everyone

[Eric Matyas]

Hi Folks,

Some cool new seamless texture images are ready on these pages:

WOOD (Artistic)
BARK (Artistic)
ORGANIC (Artistic)

You can access them from here:
Free Images | Soundimage.org

Enjoy!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Hi everyone,

A bunch of cool new stone images are ready. You'll find them here:

TXR - Rock/Stone | Soundimage.org

I hope some of them are helpful!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Hi everyone,

I've opened a new page of free sky images that might come in handy in your projects:
TXR - Skies | Soundimage.org

I also added a bunch of new wood images here:
Texture Wood | Soundimage.org


I hope some of them are helpful!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Hi everyone,

I've added about 100 new texture images. You'll find them on the following pages:

TXR - BRICK - (some new seamless "fantasy" bricks)

TXR - GROUND - (stones that could be used for riverbeds, railroad beds, etc.)

TXR - METAL - (both standard and seamless)

TXR - ROCK/STONE - (lots of cool rock textures, both standard and seamless...realistic as well as fantasy creations)

TXR - VEGETATION - (some cool ground cover that has a surreal look)

Enjoy!
Soundimage.org

 

[Eric Matyas]

Hi everyone,

I just began a new page of cool Sci-Fi texture images. Give it a look:

TXR - Sci-Fi | Soundimage.org

I'll be adding many more images, including skins for creatures, aliens, etc.

Any requests?

Btw, I've also had folks ask about how to credit me for my images. Please simply list me and my website under "Textures" in your credits section...there's no need to identify which images are mine...unless you really want to.

Anyhow, I think this is going to evolve into a really cool page. Hope it's helpful!

These are fine Thank you for sharing them. Textures are always useful.

 

[Eric Matyas]

These are fine Thank you for sharing them. Textures are always useful.

You're very welcome!


This week's new images are all seamless so they can be tiled.

The first group might be useful in sci-fi games. Feel free to scale them, mix with procedural textures or other images as needed.
TXR - Sci-Fi | Soundimage.org


The second bunch are stone textures and could be useful for walls or other structures.
TXR - Rock/Stone | Soundimage.org

Please note: On all of my texture pages, the seamless images are grouped below the standard ones so make sure to scroll down...(WAY down on the rock/stone page.)

Anyhow, I hope some of them are helpful. Have a great week!

 

[Heinvers]

These will do nicely for any terrainer around. Stiky-ed!

[Eric Matyas]

[Eric Matyas]

I had a very busy weekend, but I managed to get some new fantasy textures done:

First up, some seamless bumpy stone textures that look like they could be covered with moss, algae or maybe lichens. These might look cool for pathways. They are here:

TXR – GROUND
Texture Ground | Soundimage.org

Here are some cool stained glass textures that might look nice for windows of churches or other fantasy structures…maybe for RPGs. They are here:

TXR – GLASS
Texture Glass | Soundimage.org

New music tracks will be coming out later in the week.

Enjoy!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Greetings fellow creatives,



I’ve posted new cartoon-style texture images here:



TXR – GLASS – Cartoon

Some wild textures here…

TXR - Glass - Cartoon | Soundimage.org



TXR – METAL – Cartoon

Some dirty metal textures…

TXR - Metal - Cartoon | Soundimage.org



TXR – ROCK/STONE – Cartoon

TXR - Rock/Stone - Cartoon | Soundimage.org



Please keep in mind that they are meant to be building blocks rather than polished textures, so feel free to edit / alter / mash / etc., as needed.



Btw, if you happen to have kids (or know someone who does) I’ve created a learning series that teaches them environmental stewardship in a fun way through stories and characters. It was my first try at making films with a DSLR…(they can be very challenging to work with in the field)…but I think they came out pretty well. The organization I made them for was very happy with them and uses the films all the time…hopefully others can benefit from them as well. Please feel free to share with family, friends, teachers or anyone you know who might find them useful.

Dune's Island | Soundimage.org



Enjoy!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Hey there,



I’ve posted some more wild cartoon-style texture images derived from glass objects:



TXR – GLASS – Cartoon

TXR - Glass - Cartoon | Soundimage.org



As always, please remember that they are meant to be building blocks rather than polished textures, so feel free to edit / alter / mash / etc., as needed.



Don’t forget to check out my learning series that teaches environmental responsibility in a fun way through stories and characters. The premise is this:



How can we expect children to be the future stewards of the Earth if they don’t feel connected to it??



Please share with family, friends, teachers or anyone who might find it useful.

Dune's Island | Soundimage.org



Have a good week!

 

[Eric Matyas]

I can’t believe May is almost over…what the hell happened to spring? I swear…time is going by faster and faster…yikes!



Anyhow, more new cartoon-style (for lack of a better word) texture images are here:



TXR – CONCRETE / PAVEMENT – Cartoon

TXR - Concrete / Pavement - Cartoon | Soundimage.org



TXR – GLASS – Cartoon

Some wild textures here…

TXR – VEGETATION – Cartoon

TXR - Vegetation - Cartoon | Soundimage.org



If you find my work helpful (especially my music and sounds) please consider making a donation to my website. The synthesizers I use to create the music and sounds that I share with everyone are very expensive…so expensive, in fact, that I have to make monthly payments on them…and donations really help me a lot to pay for them. Thanks in advance…and please feel free to share your projects…I love to see how creative people are using my work!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Another super-busy week last week, but I did manage to create a bunch of new grimy metal textures. They live here:

TXR – Metal - Seamless
TXR - Metal - Seamless | Soundimage.org

100% free to use with attribution.

More cool new music tracks are on their way later in the week.

See you then!

 

[Eric Matyas]

Hi guys,

I’m in the middle of a big project, but I managed to get some new free textures done for everyone. They are on the following pages:

TXR – BRICK - Seamless

Some new fantasy cobblestone images. Maybe useful for paths and roads in fantasy-based games?

TXR - Brick - Seamless | Soundimage.org

TXR - ABSTRACT

Some new abstract textures. Maybe for sci-fi projects?

Texture Abstract | Soundimage.org

Enjoy!

Be safe and have a good week.

 

[Eric Matyas]

I hope everyone is safe and healthy. If you have kids (or know someone who does) here's a brand new free resource that I hope is helpful. It's a website for my video learning series, “Dune’s Island.” Within it you can freely access all the episodes, support documentaries and tie-in curriculum (like vocabulary, math problems, writing prompts and more.)

In the coming weeks I’ll be expanding the site with all kinds of cool activities and more documentaries so please be sure to bookmark it. In the meantime, any and all feedback is welcome and very much appreciated. Enjoy and stay safe.

P.S. Please feel free to share it on social media. Thanks!

Awesome. Why didn't you say it features Michael Douglas ?

That deserves its own thread in Off-Topic.

Are you by any chance Mr. B.? Lol.

 

[Eric Matyas]

LOL! No...sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not Mr. Binnacle. In fact, I don't appear in any of the episodes (because I'm behind the camera the whole time) but for a future episode maybe I should sneak in somewhere as an extra. We can hold a contest...whoever can identify me wins a prize. ;-)

Hmm...maybe I'll start that thread for it off-topic.

 

[Eric Matyas]

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy…(and not going too crazy from being stuck inside.)

Anyhow, brand new free texture images ready on these pages:

TXR – Abstract

TXR – Rock/Stone – Seamless

More media creators have been asking about my higher quality Ogg music tracks. Please know that I’m in the process of creating them and uploading them to Gumroad, but it’s taking time since there are over 2000 tracks on my site. If you want an Ogg version of a track that isn’t available yet, just email me and I’ll be happy to create it for you and put it on Gumroad.

Be well.

 

[SerenityInFire]

The rock/stone textures might be useful for me, to replace what I'm currently using for when peon type units are carrying ore (instead of lumber) on my map.

For those of you who are using my music tracks, I had a request last weekend for a bunch of higher quality Ogg versions of my tracks that I hadn’t yet converted, so they are now available if anyone is interested. They are:

Funky Gameplay

Windle Pixel Saves the Day (Looping)

Puzzling Curiosities

Points Tally

Pixelin’ It Around Town

Mysterious Puzzle

Cyber Puzzles

Cryptic Puzzler 2

Arcade Puzzler_v001


They sound great and are a cool way to support my work.

 

[deepstrasz]

How do you exactly make them? Are you artificially making them or editing photos you take?

 

[Eric Matyas]

99% of them are derived from digital pictures that I take with my camera. The other 1% come from procedural textures from a 3D application. Some are mixes.

Here’s some cool news:

Free looping video clips are on the way that you’ll be able to use in games, for website backgrounds, Zoom backgrounds and all kinds of other things.

Here’s an example of how I used one as a background for my other website:

https://www.dunesisland.org/episodes

I think it really brings the page to life in a way that static images just can’t.

Anyhow, I’ll be opening those pages soon. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, I have some cool new sci-fi textures for everyone. You’ll find them here:

Ogg Music Packs

A good number of game developers have asked me if they can download multiple music tracks all at once instead of one at a time, so I’m making Ogg music packs available that include all of the tracks for any given page once that page is full and I’m no longer adding any more tracks to it.

You’ll see a button near the top of any given page if a music pack is available.

Presently, music packs are available for the following pages:

Action 1
Chiptunes 1-3
Fantasy 1-10
Dark/Ominous
Horror / Surreal
Looping Music
Puzzle Music 1-5
Sci-Fi / Space

If you can, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts.

Have a good week and a safe holiday!

Bulk Music Downloads are now available for these genres: Chiptunes, Fantasy, Puzzle and Sci-Fi.

I’ve received an increasing number of requests to make my music tracks available as bulk downloads (rather than downloading them one at a time) so that people can load them into their media players and listen to them while doing other things. Now you can download all of the tracks at once from these genres on my site in higher quality Ogg format: Chiptunes, Fantasy, Puzzle and Sci-Fi. It’s a cool way to support my efforts, too.

Enjoy…and keep being creative!
