Wow, this is great. Thanks a lot. Really....I don't think ive seen this many places to get textures/references :D
 
WOAH!!!!!! Thanks. I hope you didn't spend your life trying to find those...:D Sparrow sticky this. :cheers:
 
Stickied. Blah blah
 
Many thanks! - a very extensive and useful list, sure to come in handy. It's getting harder and harder to find good texture sites as more and more start asking for payment/subscriptions.
 
pff for textures just get your mod team to invest into the 3dtotal texture CD's at www.3dtotal.com.

Extremely cheap compared to other texture packages like dosch and royalty free. You'll be using them the rest of your lives even in a professional evironment
 
anyone have a site where i can download the real hl2 textures
 
Hi you can also download some free textures for your maps from my site
www.pidesign.de
New textures are in work and will be released soon. I have just released some new ones.
Feel free to send me any suggestions, texture wishes.
 
This list is great.

Thanks for sharing your free textures on your website with the community here. :) However, the link seems to be dead at the moment. Please fix it if you can.

I'd also like to mention www.photofree.ga as it also has free textures you can use.
