Texture usage?

[Davve95]

Hey!

 

So I have started to work with textures, creating my own ones. And editing too.

The question is are there any great site that allows me to use textures

on here if I later relase my work? (I mean release re-textuered objects)

 

I found a pretty great site http://texturelib.com but I'm too chicken too use them as it says

"for personal use and commerical use"

So either you have to use them just for personal use or if you're creating commericals just?

 

Anyway please post a great site that contains great textures with using with out problems.

 

I hope the topic ain't missplaced. Otherwise please move it.

I was un-sure if it belongs to modding or not or rather here.

Terms of Use

 

All images are taken by my own cameras and edited by me.

 

They are free for commercial and non-commercial use with the only limitation: you are not allowed to sell or distribute original or slightly modified images alone or in packs. You can only distribute them as an integral part of your product.

I think it's pretty clear that you're allowed to use them however you want as long as you don't distribute any of the images on their own.

Thanks I missed that yesterday, plus the tabs was a bit bugged at their site.

I guess I will go ahed and use them then.

I got two more questions: If I edit just a small TXD file so I maybe just need one texture from texturelib

will that be okay or not? Or will it count as releasing it on their own as it's just one from them?

 

And also: Will there be any problem with releasing San Andreas orginal textures, I mean if they don't have to be edited?

If they're included in a TXD?

 

Edit: I forgot to mention too. Are it allowed to include un-edited and editited IV textures in my work?

 

 

Maybe it could be good to write something like this when/if I release anything on here:

Some TXD's of my work might contain textures from GTA IV or http://texturelib.com/
in orginal state or slightly edited by me.

I don't own any textures of texturelib or from R*'s GTA IV.
Some might as well be completely my own ones that I have shot by my own.

You're not distributing that image on its own, only as part of the work you've done so it follows their guidelines perfectly fine. What they mean is you're not allowed to just download their images and reupload somewhere else for others to take without doing anything with them.

 

And also: Will there be any problem with releasing San Andreas orginal textures, I mean if they don't have to be edited?

Those belong to Rockstar and distributing original files from the game will without almost any doubt constitute copyright infringement and is almost certainly mentioned in the EULA that no one ever reads while installing the game. So no, it's not, unless it falls under some kind of fair use or something similar which I have a hard time believing but I don't know. The odds that Rockstar will come after you though pretty much don't exist, just look at all the mods that can already be found across the internet. Edited November 10, 2016 by Andreaz1

Commercial Use usually means if you are going to use it to make money off of their stuff and if you are allowed to use it, it usually means you do not have to pay them anything. At least thats my understanding
