Well, finally figured out how to get the textures "published." Basically, I just uploaded them to my box.net account. /shrug
Ah well...Anyway, if you want to access them just send me a pm with the subject "Texture Access" and I'll give you the link. I'd post it here, but I think the box.net people don't want me to post the link in public places.
If you're interested in what sorts of textures (or it might be more apt to call them "photograph resources from which textures could be created") you'd be looking at, the current topics include:
algae-covered rocks
bamboo or cane stalks and stumps
encrustations from a cave ceiling or wall (probably calcite)
lots of fern varieties for alpha texturing
a gecko on a wall
sand of various colors, wetness, foam covering, and crab holes?
leaves
grey volcanic rock (w/or w/o vesicles)
tree trunks and branches
cones (green)
lichen on bark
moss
water
mud
rock
I release all of these texture photographs in my Hawai'i Textures folder into the public domain, which means that they are totally copyright free. Which means that you can use them in your projects, commercial or private, without having to credit me or pay me anything.
