Tool Box: 7 free useful packages of assets and textures

The Friday selection of free useful things for 3D artists includes an add-on for procedural materials in Blender, hyper-realistic skin textures with all the necessary maps, a huge package with assets for interiors and other cool stuff.

1. Procedural fabric materials in BlenderKit

A package of procedural fabrics for Blender by artist Vilem Duha. The artist shared a tutorial on how to set them up for your own use. The license allows you to use the resulting textures as your own.

2. Realistic skin textures for male and female characters

Travis Davids generously shared a magnificent texture pack with skin maps for male and female characters. The pack contains both .obj models in T-poses and a C4D project file. In addition, the package has a video tutorial "Adding more realism in the Daz Skin shader."

7. Procedural Nature Pack

Procedural Nature Pack is a great tool that allows you to procedurally create trees, vines and other natural elements. It will not replace SpeedTree, but it is a great tool for creating assets for games. There is also a 2 GB demo scene, so you can check how it all works.
