| Does anyone know where to get some good textures? I am having a really hard time finding a seamless grass texture. |

| This site isn't bad for being free: http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/gen2tour/index.htm You have to download their viewer, but I find it pretty handy and easy to use. |

| Another way is to go outside with a digital camera, look down and make some pictures of the grass and use a tool to make the picture seamless. Only this way your sure no one else will use the same texture. |

| http://www.cgtextures.com/ is one of the best sites. |

| http://www.noctua-graphics.de/english/freetex_e.htm I also second what Vorderman said about cgtextures.com, it's really great. But most textures there aren't seamless, so you need a bit of Photoshop skill, using the Offset filter and the Clone Stamp with a soft Brush (solves most cases of a homogenous texture like grass or rock). For stuff like bricks you need to use some special cropping. http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/tilings/tilings.htm <- tutorials on Tiling with Photoshop. Your pipeline in the end would be simply: Download a good, plain and homogenous texture for the material you want, edit in photoshop (tiling, color management), save in power of 2 format. It's much more satisfying to work out your own material this way. |

| Wasn't there a seamless texture generator somewhere? |

| sswift does one. Click here! |

| That Seamless Texture generator looks very impressive. But still, there will be times where some pesky spot in your texture gets very noticeable (even if you pass it through a seamless generator), and you'll still need to have photoshop skills to remove it. |
