Another cool site gone to shit by jewish corporation.
And yes, I'm aware about "free" tab on the site, but it's shit
No announcements about this change anywhere. They just did it silently
Anyway, any alternatives? Site had a nice collection of regular non-PBR photos

Why wouldn't they? Nice domain names seem valuable. Maybe they will release Apple Texture for AR in 20 years or whatever

Shame.
I didn't get textures for PBR materials there, but it was the first place I looked for photo textures and shit like building facades.
Fuckin Jews.

Get on good old google images and just edit the fuck out of the stuff you get from there.
You weren't supposed to use the images in the same exact condition as you'd download them, anyways. I mean, you could, but that translates into abandoning your artistic vision for whatever stuff you'd be able to download.
The highQ PBR and substance materials were already behind a paywall.
For paid projects, the credits costs should be passed on to the client or at least taken into account when calculating the fees.
A bit sad, though. That was my first go-to but I guess those people got to eat, too.

Not really the same thing though.
The site's value really was in its photo textures, not its materials that are a dime a dozen elsewhere.

How incredibly jewish of them. These low-res textures were a great community resource and certainly weren't eating into anyone's profits.
I don't want to download from other free texture sites, textures.com understood what made a good game texture, while the other sites are full of random schizo shit.

I bet it's because people are using AI laundered textures now and it's eating into their profits. Nobody is going to download a brick wall texture when stablediffusion will generate one for you out of textures and photos that it was trained on.

>and photos that it was trained on.
Please show an example of you 1:1 recreating a source image from AI or you're full of shit.
