Yes, absolutely! All textures, texturepacks, and brush packs on this site are completely royalty-free. They can be used commercially without reference or credit to texturemate or myself.

Simple. I enjoy photographing textures and providing them to other graphic designers, web designers and 3D modeling artists like myself! Website hosting costs are covered with advertisements placed on the site. Myself or others that donate textures or brushes to texturemate have day jobs and do not rely on this site for income.

All of the textures at texturemate are completely original and obtained using my own professional photography equipment. I can guarantee that the only place you should see any of my textures online is here! See them hosted somewhere else? Let me know!

No, not at all! Although appreciated, it is not required. Enjoying the site and spreading the word among your colleagues about where to get free textures is enough! I always love to see my textures or brushes used in your finished product!

Yes, these textures may be used for rendering surfaces or tiled in 3D software. Using these photographs in 3D software changes their appearance and is consequently allowed. Have no worries using these textures in programs such as 3DS Max, Solidworks, CAD, Maya3D and Blender.

Yes, of course! Second Life's software is a form of 3D modeling and these textures may be used. Please do not redistribute them unedited to others via Second Life, just send them here!

No, the only thing I do not allow to be done with our textures is nothing at all! I go though hard work obtaining high-quality original textures and turning them into brushes and do not want to see other companies selling them in 'their' texture or brush packs. However, I am open to all distribution ideas, so if you are interested in re-packaging our textures, feel free to contact me.
