Description


Up to now, I haven't used textures other than my own, but there are too many fantastic ones (free for commercial/personal use) to avoid it for long! This includes two textures from cgtextures.com.

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/13 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 250, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 60.00 mm, Model: NIKON D70s
