Ambient grace textures - ambient textures for your desktop
These textures are some textures I have been working on for the past few years. I have tried to stay away from overly complex textures that give you headache or cause you to hallucinate if you look at them for more than 30 seconds. These textures can be used for long time periods without fatigue or aggravation... ahhh!
I used some strange techniques like scanning the abstract artwork of my friend Nicholai Sokolov at high resolution and blurring it. I also took fragments of fabric and tiled it in curious ways in photoshop.
They are stored in the Texture Installer 2.1 format. Texture Installer is a shareware program which can probably be found at this site. I much prefer it to the built in Apple Desktop Textures control panel due to it’s compression of textures and ease of use. It will also work on any system 7.1 or higher (to the best of my knowledge) whereas Apple’s control panel only comes with system 7.5.x.
If you like these textures, email me with your words of praise :) or perhaps email me some of your own creations in trade. I do these for fun and I can’t imagine profiting from them. You should NOT however, steal them and call them your own. Bad karma, and really unfair to me! (and Nicholai)
