A while back I spoke to someone called "some guy i know" and asked him if I could use his list of links for textures and resources. Here is the list with updated information from other users on this forum. If you find any of the links below not working please post and let me know and I will remove them. If you can think of anymore links which should be added to this list then please post in this thread.

 

 

 

Please Note: Always check the copyright information before using other people's textures. I will tidy this thread up every now and then and merge all posts into one.
