The Community Request Texture Sprint!

Community Requests and Material Sprints

Tying our library directly to the community needs helps foster communication and collaboration between both

There was a time in the long past where GameTextures.com fielded texture requests from the community in a pay to play basis. We would charge a fee and any developer could come to us and put in a request for a material that would be hand tailored to their needs. They would get the full package of course, the substance and all the trappings while the regular formats we offer would go up onto the library.

A whole bunch of requests later, it slowly became untenable as different opportunities arose and our artists were stretched thin on other projects. We mothballed the Texture Request project as an artifact of our early days and moved on, though we still received requests and inquiries the whole time.

We thought it was a good time to revitalize this but in a way that better suits 2024!

Using our Discord we try to maintain a connection with the community we serve and part of that is asking them what sorts of textures that they want in the library or desperately need for their projects. It was from this that our community requests sprint was born.

Old Books

We are glad to be able to dive into this again, revitalizing a connection to our community that we thought out of reach in a way that still benefits everyone!
