Creating textures from scratch can prove a challenge to even the most experienced texturing artists, let alone those who are new to the craft. Most artists like to have a library of references in addition to high-resolution photographs and images to begin their textures, to incorporate into their own textures.
Bricks and Blocks - Texture Library (DVD)
Bricks and Blocks contains 250 high resolution textures for the creation of all kinds of brick and cement block surfaces. Included are photographs of clean bricks, bricks which have been painted, bricks used as paving stones, rough and worn bricks, as well as specialty and decorative bricks. Gnomon Workshop textures are high resolution and seamlessly tileable. This allows for the creation of texture pages of any size - from the walls of an entire factory complex down to the exposed brick surrounding a mouse hole. Every texture has a corresponding bump and specular map. These have been hand manipulated to ensure a proper bump and specular response, and are not simply a grayscale version of the color map. The textures are entirely handled and stored in 24-bit TIFF format to avoid any compression artifacts normally associated with JPEG images. Also supplied are more than 200 features - texture maps with alpha masks that add richness and variety to any texture project. Included are features commonly found with bricks like graffiti, paint, windows and more.



Distressed Metal - Texture Library (DVD)
Distressed Metal contains 280 high resolution textures for the creation of all kinds of deteriorated and fatigued metal surfaces. Included are photographs of corroded metal, metal which has been painted, scratched metal, burnt metal, and severely damaged metal. Gnomon Workshop textures are high resolution and seamlessly tileable. This allows for the creation of texture pages of any size - from the small scale of a ragged cuff link up to the immense scale of a deteriorating oil refinery. Every texture has a corresponding bump and specular map. These have been manipulated to ensure a proper bump and specular response, and are not simply a grayscale version of the color map. The textures are entirely handled and stored in 24-bit TIFF format to avoid any compression artifacts normally associated with JPEG images. Also supplied are more than 150 features - texture maps with alpha masks that add richness and variety to any texture project. Included are features common to worn metal like paint, rust, bolts and more.



Planks and Panels - Texture Library (DVD)
Planks and Panels contains 305 high resolution textures for the creation of all kinds of man-made structured wooden surfaces. Included are photographs of boards, panels, planks and posts as well as specialty wood constructions. Gnomon Workshop textures are high resolution and seamlessly tileable. This allows for the creation of texture pages of any size - from a fly\'s eye view of a backyard fence up to the broadside of a majestic Spanish galleon. Every texture has a corresponding bump and specular map. These have been manipulated to ensure a proper bump and specular response, and are not simply a grayscale version of the color map. The textures are entirely handled and stored in 24-bit TIFF format to avoid any compression artifacts normally associated with JPEG images. Also supplied are more than 160 features - texture maps with alpha masks that add richness and variety to any texture project. Included are features commonly found with structured wood like nails, bolts, signs, hinges and more.
