Looks like shit. And this is coming from someone who actually "likes" AI for certain tasks.
AI has a use, but I don't think it's a good replacement for photo textures. The benefit of photo textures is that it actually exists, it's a real tangible place that you're sourcing it from. Not in any kind of retarded "SOVL" way, but like a place and object that has realistic wear and stuff because it's a real place/object that people have interacted with. I think that AI can definitely approximate that sort of thing, but I don't think it's particularly good at really nailing down that "lived-in" kind of look that photo textures have.
It's really fucking hard to say what I mean without it coming off as philosophical bullshit, but that's definitely not what I'm trying to get at. Hopefully you do pick up what I'm tryna put down, my brotha.

they may of removed free credits but you still CAN grab images (albeit the base resolution) from the page.
I just tried it out, I use a chrome extension to list every image on a page and then extracted that image automatically. Turned out to be HIGHER resolution than the lowest resolution you can go, so dont know how the 'hover to expand' system works, but I get a better image than if you were to buy and download...

for environment? unironically google maps street view. yeah the quality aint exactly HD but at least its 360 degrees and you have multiple point of view for reference. it is as "real life" environment as its gets. perhaps you can cleanup and upscale with AI and even take a few shots and do photogrammetry

Sorry I didn't get notification for some reason.
The chrome extention seems to be removed from the store, but I looked up some alternatives:

That's not a texture that's just a shitty photo

>anon learns what the "photo" in "photo texture" means.
It's a shitty AI image, so it's unusable as it is, but still. Photo textures generally are just photos of things that you grab details and textures from (like as in the actual meaning of "texture", not in the 3d sense). Generally they're not ready to use seamless textures for materials. They still have their place though.

Have you ever tried Google Maps? It’s free, and you can take unlimited screenshots.

I actually do this from time to time. It's hit or miss. Resolution can either be okay, or complete shit.
I'll take a "stroll" in downtown NYC, or some 3rd world country and just pick up textures.

You can use Google Maps and then recreate the textures in Blender or Substance Designer. It’s better than using 160p images as textures.

That defeats the entire point. I might as well just skip the middleman and just make them in SP without ever going into Google Earth. Doesn't suddenly make them photo textures though.

how do I give something that has been discontinued from the store? The other extension I recommended does the same thing you troglodyte.

Just model the walls you need and texture it.

Might be barking up the wrong tree, but I lost a shit ton of textures and stuff recently. I've for the most part gotten a hold of most of what I need, save for this one.
https://www.textures.com/download/P
One of you guys don't happen to have it, do you? Or a link to an archive of shit from the site? CGPeers doesn't seem to have anything.
I can offer up a torrent link to something on CGP as payment if you're not on there.
I know it's a simple as fuck texture to just make, but I'd rather just get it and have the shit that use it already in projects to just work without figuring out what shit is missing it.
