I just noticed that CGTextures recently (within the last week) set up an account system and is no longer (as far as I know they used to) allowing people to release their images as textures in maps or in texture packs, even if modified. So I wanted to know if anyone else has a good website which does allow their images to be redistributed (I guess that would make it a website with open-source textures?).
That said, links to websites with [B]Textures[/B] and not [B]Texture packs[/B] would be appreciated.
Worst comes to worst, I can take my DSLR outside and take some photos to use as textures...
Well that's lame. :(
However, I don't think there would be an legal issue of you using a texture (and modifying it) and using it in your map. I think you'll be fine as long as: You don't charge for the map (Which you can't anyways based on the Source SDK liscence) and B, give credit to CGTextures in the readme.

well that makes sense... I guess they meant charging for textures. Now back to CGTextures for my sand texture :v:
Heh, who gives a shit what they say you can and can't do, nearly all of their textures are uploaded by the community, so it's not even their call.

I lol'd
hmmm... a free texture site.... let me try freetexturesite.com
The liscence agreements haven't changed on cgtextures. It is simply that someone was using proxies and costing the guy a fortune. The accounts are free and have a 25 textures a day limit on them.

ah, got it. I thought there was a change in policy when it made me check a box next to "you are not allowed to distribute any textures, modified or not, as textures or in a texture pack"
Well...not according to the FAQ. He has simply changed accounts policy to stop some retard dowloading thousands of textures a day via proxies.
Haha, using Google is not a bad idea actually. As long as you know how to convert them.

You have to convert textures from any other texture site too...
