Free Download 3D Text - Well, almost...

Ok kids - I saw something similar to this on a few blog posts and tutorial how to's etc.

However the trick to the "3D" in this is more about trompe l'oeil than anything else.  It isn't true 3d - it is just correctly positioned layers with shading that makes your eye think there is a 3rd dimension.  To edit the text - just type on the layer etc. Nothing to it really and it really isn't that special.  Obviously if you use larger or smaller text you will have to increase or decrease the layer styles accordingly.

As usual you may use these for personal and commercial endeavors - BUT, do NOT redistribute without express written permission.

Free Greeble Photoshop styles you want, mmm?

These just about killed me.  Seriously.  I had to go through a lot of discovery processes before finding something that actually looked correct in Photoshop and as a style.  I will tell you that there aren't nearly enough tech shapes out there - at least rectangular or square.  Plenty of circles tho.  I did find a process in ZBrush that let me create the greeble texture.  But that was at 1AM this morning and after discovering it I found that my eyes would not stay open so I had to continue that this morning.

Anyway - I hope you ca get some use outta these.  Obviously they look best against a dark background (like space - go figure) but use as you see fit.  Same stipulation as always - use for personal or commercial projects (t-shirts, bags, totes, a poster, you sig or website) but you are NOT allowed to redistribute in any way shape or form.

Free Gold Photoshop Styles

I have to admit - this is cheezy.  I was watching GoldRush on Discovery and thought that the nuggets were especially pretty.  I was inspired to make a "Gold" style for Photoshop.  After messing around in ZBrush for the texture and then in photoshop - I came up with three styles.  Great for text, shapes etc.  Whatever gold stuff you wanna use it for. 

Of course - same license applies, use them for personal and commercial projects.  Not for redistrubution - just link your friends here.  I'm certainly not going to quit this anytime soon.  I'm having way too much fun.

Free Ice Photos

Not that I'm trying to detract from my own posts but I wanted to share some resources (i.e. images) of ice that I've found on my favorite two free stock sites. 

Now free doesn't mean you can redistribute as-is, it means you can use in your designs, creations etc.  However some of the images may have further restrictions - so please respect the photographer and ask if they require that stipulation.


Icicles - Lots of them, from all sorts of angles and in all sorts of weather.  I've chosen three to show here but peruse around, there are so many more.

Frost - This icey feature seems to be everywhere and in every form possible.  Below are three pics that I think you can get the most mileage out of but don't stop there.  Please look around, it's nipping at your heels and nose.  Can't you feel it?

Ice - In all it's forms ice is a cross between magical and somewhat scary force of nature.  Below are several images that should freeze you in your tracks. Lol.
