Free Texture Sites

I’ll admit it, Im a stingy person and I dont spend a dime on anything. Websites like Poliigon, and Megascans produce incredible looking textures, but you have to pay to get them.

Here are some sites that offer pretty decent textures for FREE

just in case anyone is interested in making their own textures from real textures, I found an app for Android called Live Normal, which allows for scanning of objects to capture a seamless texture. You can then export these textures to Google Drive:

Not given it a go yet in relation to Roblox, but it seems pretty good.

here’s a quick one I just made using the floor at work if anyone wants an example of what sort of thing that app produces lol. took about 5 seconds to make. I’m sure a bit of editing in Photoshop and playing around with the in-app settings would give better effects though

I was able to make this snowy grass texture and this cobble wall texture.


but the camera has to be zoomed out really far to get a nice wide texture. When I tile them, the grass is seamless, but its very easy to see where the texture repeats with the wall.

Sorry for the bump :sweat_smile:

But I found some even more stuff that may be helpful to 3D artists that are not listed here.

And I’m going to go a little off-topic here but they also have a new site or 3D models:

And I’ve found this helpful as well!

WOW! I found this new site! It’s not technically a texture library, but its one site that accesses multiple texture libraries (free ones), to quickly find textures!
