Texturemonk?

by Alex Rice · in Artist Corner · 06/17/2005 (10:47 pm) · 6 replies

What's the concensus on http://www.texturemonk.com/ ? I've read 2 favorable comments on this site, and 2 un-favorable comments. Something about the colors not being normalized. Is it a good type of textures for use with game development? Are most of them seamless/tileable textures?

I tried texturemonk but found a lot of the textures were not of production quality. A lot of them look like they've been jpeg a fair few times and have become distorted. For general use I'd say they are ok, but not for professional.

@fruitbat when did you try texturemonk? Looks like a lot of activity in 2005- I wonder if the new collections are any better than the 2003-2004 collections.

I use Texturemonk. There are some quality issues with the textures but, you can produce some great textures if you have a handle on texture creation from the raw sources they offer....or edit the hell out of the textures:)

Even with the quality issues, sounds like texturemonk is still a good value.
