Texture Toolkit 5 :: Digital Juice

Building on the popularity and usefulness of the first four Texture Toolkits, Texture Toolkit Collection 5: Real World takes the super high resolution seamless texture to a whole new level of realism with 800 unique examples of photorealistic real-world materials - producing a genuine, organic, tactile look and feel for this collection. From the smooth, sleek and shiny to the broken, hard and gritty aspects of the real world, this collection will force you to face reality like nothing else can. And you now have the ability to bring this reality to your productions like never before. If you've ever looked at a blank canvas in Photoshop, After Effects, or even in PowerPoint or your video editor, and not known what to do or where to start, the realistic textures in Texture Toolkit 5 were created just for you. Delivered at a maximum resolution of 4000 x 4000 pixels, most of these textures are seamless in all directions and many have a built in alpha so they can be layered on top of images or video for unique effects.

Good textures - particularly high resolution and seamless textures - are hard to find. These long misunderstood workhorses of the creative industry are an essential tool when working with photos, illustrations, videos and animations of any kind. They can be used as a subtle accent or to add a striking backdrop for a hero element - but they are rarely the star of the show. Their main job is to add context and subtext to your creations. Textures can create a mood without saying a word and the right texture can make a simple photo more dramatic or add a weather-beaten look to something shiny and new. The realistic feel of the textures in this new collection will help you build an illusion of tactile reality for your work and will add a unique look and feel to anything you create.

The seamless nature of the majority of the Texture Toolkit textures is essential and it is a key aspect to their usefulness. Just about anyone can create a bad seamless texture. Some computer software can even make some less bad ones. However, most people don't even try, because making a GOOD seamless texture is hard, tedious work. It requires the skill and trained eye of an artist to make a truly seamless and interesting abstract or realistic texture.

A seamless texture is one that can be repeated infinitely without showing any noticeable edge or join between repeating tiles. It can be used to fill as large or as small an area of a graphic as you like. Most seamless textures can tile in both the X and Y directions, while some are designed only to tile horizontally (X), usually across the base or top edge of a graphic area.

In the past, seamless textures were used primarily for desktop wallpaper and web page backgrounds, as well as for adding realism to 3D models and architectural renderings. Nowadays, high resolution textures can be used for a wide variety of design applications including as photo, illustration, animation or video fills and backgrounds, as the base to build a virtual studio or scene for still or motion graphics or as a way to add realistic texture and depth to any part of a designed graphic, whether 2D or 3D, static or moving.
