GOODTEXTURES
Domain registered 2007 · first version live 2010 · rebooting as 5.0
GOODTEXTURES 5.0 · WORK IN PROGRESS

Free, game-ready textures are coming back soonish.

I’m rebuilding Goodtextures with a mix of the original photo-based textures and a new library of PBR surfaces created in tools like Substance 3D Painter and, later, Substance Designer. The goal is to keep the spirit of the old site, but make it more useful for modern engines and workflows.

What this page is (and isn’t)
  • A simple holding page to point the domain somewhere meaningful while I work on the real site.
  • A hint of the kinds of stone, wood, metal and trim materials I’m curating from older projects and new Substance work.
  • Not the final design for Goodtextures 5.0 – the finished site will have its own layout, navigation and download system.
  • A small personal project running alongside my day job and teaching, so progress will be steady rather than instant.

About goodtextures

I registered the Goodtextures domain back in 2007 and launched the first public version of the site in 2010. Over the years it grew into a large collection of free photo textures used by environment artists, students and hobbyists all over the world.

Version 5.0 will build on that history. I’ll be re-using and cleaning up a selection of the original photo textures, then expanding the library with new PBR materials and trim sheets created in modern tools. The focus is on practical, game-ready surfaces rather than huge generic archives.

For now, this landing page is simply a marker in the ground: Goodtextures is still alive, the textures are not forgotten, and a new version is being assembled behind the scenes.
