These are a bunch of sites I have found while wandering around the net. I figured some may find these useful.


Hair boutique, for anybody looking to create a new hairstyle.

http://gallery.hairboutique.com/


Gallery with high resolution photos of all your favorite celebrities. Perhaps you can find a good size face shot for texturing.

http://www.bethsoft.com/redirect.php?site=...//www.skins.be/


Dragon physiology, if anybody is interested in building a dragon model.

http://www.draconian.com/body/body.htm


Gallery with all sorts of animal photos.

http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/


Some nice original sword and a few axe designs from a guy who happens to be from my home state.

http://www.jodysamson.com/



And some texture sites:


http://textures.forrest.cz/

http://www.turtletextures.com/gallery/main.php

http://www.freefoto.com/browse/33-00-0?ffid=33-00-0

http://free-textures.got3d.com/

http://www.environment-textures.com/index.php


Thats all I have for the moment if I find any I forgot or find anything new that might be useful I will update.

I also have a lot of sites with human reference if anybody is interested but I am not allowed to post them here. If you are looking for any human referance let me know and I will PM some links.

Feel free to post anything you think may be useful.

I think this list was posted by Skydye originally. Not all the links work (as it's a slightly old list) and some aren't so good, but I saved it anyway as there's lots of links.

Wow thats a huge list...... Thanks for posting Vality.

Yea, I think we should start another how to texture thread. We have a lot of new people who can put in new I deals.

Woah... Just woah.

You guys might want to actually check your links thoroughly and put proper disclaimers where necessary...

Good gods.... Totally saving this.

I thought I might list a few, till I saw Vality's collection (I'll back up cgtextures.com and sxc.hu, love both).

Brilliant, thanks for that; definitely saving a lot of those. But I must ask; does anybody know of a good place for medical resources of open surgery and that sort of thing? I've been searching for some good close-up photos of muscles, bones, and wounds for the longest time and have yet to find a really good reliable site for the sort of thing I'm hoping to find. If anybody can give me a good heads-up on that, I would be eternally grateful.

Huh?

Seconded. They are not up to date. But that's how links like this go. When links are built over time they do change.

Yep, I agree with skydye. Good on you for reposting the list, Vality.

To y'all who want updated links - I know skydye put a lot of time into making that list but it's been a while ago so some of the links have likely changed. You'll have do a little searching in order to update them on your own after saving the list. You can't have everything done for you!

I do not think that Craigor was referring to the absence of data or outdated link, but rather the occasional linkage to sites that might show "a bit more" than might be expected (if you get my meaning ).

If you were referring to the celebrity site I posted I fixed the link to add the disclaimer.... I hadn't really checked much of the site but I have come to realize that there is some nudity (not 208 much that I have found) and perhaps some scantily clad images there.....
