Cool Tiling Website Background Textures, Free!

So … in a previous life, I used to run a site called The Texture Studio (yep, it’s still there … thank you, GameSpy). The goal of the site was to release a ton of textures for free to the public, in the hopes of getting noticed by game companies. It worked, actually … I was getting quite a lot of attention, but not by the companies I loved. I had a good job, at the time, so I was willing to wait until an opportunity that really thrilled me came along. As it turned out, that was GameSpy, and my life headed in that direction. I’ve worked on a couple of games since (Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004) and really enjoyed it, but it’s been a while since I had the time to make a lot of textures.

I figured since a lot of people hit this site by the search terms “cool website background” I might as well cater to that audience. Here, after the jump, you’ll find a couple of textures. Well, a couple of base textures, but seven total. I’ve saved them at 50% jpg, which is a bit low, but it still provides a reasonable quality, particularly for a background. Oh, and all of these textures tile seamlessly.

So uh … hope you find these useful. They’re totally free. Just right click, choose “save as” … and save wherever you’d like. If you want to credit me somewhere on the site, that’s awesome … but not necessary. If you use them in a website, let me know and I’ll link it here!
