I'd like to add my new site to your list of free stock photo resources:

PhotoSharingForum.com

All the photos on the site are release under Creative Commons Licensing. I've organized the gallery by license type so it's easy to determine the terms of use. Also searchable by keyword/category. As of this post I have 142 images online so it's not an Image*After or anything, but I'm working on it!

I'm using vBulletin/PhotoPost/vbPortal to run the website. I've been pretty happy with these scripts. Still have some customizing to do. If anyone has ideas/suggestions please ley me know. I'd appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

Darren

update posted

Ran into this site today:

http://forums.ego-farms.com/index.php

Quite some good tutorials and resources. i'll post it under the 3D thread as well...

ACME Masonry Designer

although its a program, you can make textures with it so this probably fits in this list.

@acme & Tristan: thank you both; both excellent resources - I will add them in the next update; I'm on vacation right now

Note to self, update list with
