Building a Library of Images for Everyone

[Eric Matyas]

Greetings!

This week’s new seamless textures are on the following pages:

TXR - GROUND
Some cool new ground cover textures.
https://soundimage.org/txr-ground/

TXR – SCI-FI
These could be used for all kinds of things I’m sure.
https://soundimage.org/txr-sci-fi/

(Make sure to scroll down for seamless textures.)

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

[Eric Matyas]

This week’s new seamless textures are all fantasy textures:

TXR - METAL - Seamless
Some grungy textures…perhaps for urban-based structures or sci-fi things?
https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/

TXR – ROCK / STONE – Fantasy
These don’t exist in reality but are combinations of other images that I’ve created.
https://soundimage.org/txr-rock-stone-fantasy/

Have a good week and keep being creative!

Hi Folks,

I have some cool new seamless textures ready for your projects. They are on the following pages:

TXR- ALIEN SKINS
Might work for creature skin or perhaps vegetation.
https://soundimage.org/txr-alien-skins/

TXR – GROUND
Some new gritty sand textures. Might come in handy for sandy bottoms of things. (Scroll down to the seamless images area.)
https://soundimage.org/txr-ground/

TXR – ROCK / STONE – Fantasy
Some more fantasy stone textures.
https://soundimage.org/txr-rock-stone-fantasy/

Enjoy!

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?

https://soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless/

TXR - ABSTRACT

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

https://soundimage.org/txr-abstract/

Enjoy!

[Eric Matyas]

Greetings fellow creatives,

If anyone is interested, I was recently asked to do an interview for a website called Exilian. Hopefully my answers were entertaining and (somewhat) intelligent…lol. Here’s a link if anyone wants to check it out:

That said, this week’s cool new textures are on the following pages:

TXR – BRICK - Seamless
Some really interesting brick textures.
https://soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless/

TXR – ROCK/STONE – Seamless
Some new stone textures that could be used for old roads, paths, castles, etc. Some have grass between the stones, too.
https://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone-seamless/

More music is on its way as well as some cool new city ambient sounds.

Keep being creative!

[Eric Matyas]

Hey everyone,

For those of you who have been using my original music in your projects, I’ve had a good number of requests for uncompressed versions of my tracks, so I’ve begun making them available on Gumroad for a small fee to help support the site. The MP3 files that I make freely available sound very good, but the original uncompressed WAV files really sound incredible…give them a try!

If anyone is curious as to why I didn’t upload WAV files onto my site to begin with, the reason is that my web hosting service places limitations on file sizes and WAV files tend to be very large.

Anyhow, it’s going to take some time to upload everything, so if anyone has any requests for WAV versions of tracks you happen to like, just drop me an email and I’ll upload them to Gumroad for you. Feel free to convert to Ogg (or any format you like.)

That said, this week’s new free textures are on the following pages:

TXR – BRICK - Seamless
These might be really nice for castles.
https://soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless/

TXR – WOOD – Seamless
Perhaps for old doors, structures, barrels or other things.
https://soundimage.org/txr-wood-seamless/

More music and ambient sounds coming this week.

Enjoy and keep being creative!

[Eric Matyas]

Hi guys,

New free images are waiting for your projects on these pages:

ART – Cobblestones
More mad experimenting. I made some pixel art style images from a couple of my cobblestone images. Maybe for castles and things? They look pretty cool scaled down. Feel free to edit / take samples from them / scale them as needed, etc.
https://soundimage.org/art-cobblestones/

ART – Brick
Some new pixel art-style brick images. Trying to come up with some fresh new looks. Feel free to edit / take samples from them / scale them as needed, etc.
https://soundimage.org/art-brick/

MUSIC UPDATE:

WAV files proved too large to upload onto Gumroad in any reasonable amount of time…(we’re talking about 1900+ tracks) so I’m uploading Ogg files instead. I’ve started with my Fantasy page. They sound really great…give them a try!

Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for WAV versions of tracks you happen to like, feel free to contact me.

Have a good week and keep being creative!

[Eric Matyas]

More mad experimenting this week.

I’ve been trying to create some new looks for pixel art-style images, specifically tiles that can be used in 2D games and things.

On my ART – Brick page, you’ll find:

A bunch of cool new brick tiles, 64 by 64 pixels each. Some have a 3D look to them.

https://soundimage.org/art-brick/

On my ART – Ground page, you’ll find:

A variety of new ground tiles that could work for rocky surfaces, grass, sand, etc.

https://soundimage.org/art-ground/

MUSIC UPDATE:

Super high-quality Ogg files are now available for every track on my Fantasy 1 page as well as my Sci-Fi/Space page. And for about half of the tracks on my Looping Music page.

Eventually, they will be available for every track on my site.

Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for Ogg versions of tracks you happen to like, just let me know and I’ll be happy to upload them for you.

Enjoy and keep being creative!

[Eric Matyas]

Hi guys,
I’ve been super busy this week creating custom music for a bunch of indie projects, but I did manage some more mad experiments with pixel art-style wood tiles...128X128. You can download them freely here:
https://soundimage.org/art-wood/

OGG MUSIC UPDATE:
All of the music tracks on my Horror/Surreal page can now be downloaded as very high-quality Ogg files. Halloween’s not too far off, so I’ll try to create more creepy music tracks this month.
Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for Ogg versions of tracks that haven’t been made available yet, just let me know and I’ll be happy to upload them for you.
Enjoy!

[Eric Matyas]

Hey everyone,

I just opened a new page of stone pixel art-style tiles. You’ll find them here:

ART – Stone
https://soundimage.org/art-stone/

Feel free to edit as needed.

I’ve also created a bunch of new ground tiles. They live here:

ART – Ground
https://soundimage.org/art-ground/

As always, if you have any requests, feel free to pm or email me.

I hope some of my work is helpful!

[Eric Matyas]

I was busy shooting a film over the weekend, but I managed to do some mad experiments creating pixel art-style tiles. These were derived from glass surfaces, but might be used for other things as well. Free to use with attribution. Enjoy!

[Eric Matyas]

I can’t believe November is almost over…where does the time go?

Anyhow, I've created more new fantasy textures. 100% free to use with attribution. They live here:

TXR - Ground

Enjoy…and have a good week!

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.

Greetings Fellow Creatives,

My mad experiments creating seamless textures continue! This week we have some from my Wood and Vegetation pages. 100% free to use with attribution, like my thousands of other images.

https://soundimage.org/images-home-page/

Enjoy!

[Eric Matyas]

Hi Everyone,

I've had some people ask me why I don't provide maps (like normal maps, roughness, ambient occlusion, etc.) with my texture images. The answer is:  I think it's better to let people generate their own maps from my images so they can make them (and, hence, their final materials) look exactly the way they want them to. 

I've recently discovered a free tool called "Materialize" that does exactly that, and it works really well. Here's a link:

https://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/

That said, this week's brand new images are on these pages on my site:

BARK - Artistic - Tile-able

BRICK - Artistic - Tile-able

CONCRETE - Artistic - Tile-able

You can access them from here:

https://soundimage.org/images-home-page/

Enjoy!  🙂

Happy Friday!

If you happen to find my free assets helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts. My site is 100% ad-free...I pay for everything myself and contributions from the creative community really help a lot.

That said, you'll find this week's new free textures on these pages:

FUR/CARPET - Artistic - Tile-able

GROUND TEXTURES - Artistic - Tile-able

https://soundimage.org/images-home-page/

Enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative!  🙂

Hey Everyone,

Brand new seamless texture images are ready on these pages on my site:

METAL - Artistic - Tile-able
ROCK / STONE- Artistic - Tile-able

Game developers and other content creators keep asking me if they can use my assets in projects intended to make money...the answer is YES! 🙂 As long as you use my assets within projects and properly attribute me, it's fine. Here's a link to my attribution page:

https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/

What you CANNOT do is resell my assets outright or, say, make an original soundtrack from my music and sell that. That would be illegal. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

In the meantime, stay safe and keep being creative!

[Eric Matyas]

Happy Friday Everyone!

I have some brand new texture images to share...as always, they are 100% free to use with attribution.

Commercial usage is fine, too, so no worries.

You can download them from these pages:
