I thought I started this thread for all us creators, be it modelers or texture artists... because I have stumbled across so many good things lately that helped me a lot... and they might help you as well? I think, it is good to have a place to look around and to find stuff, so I started this thread.
Since I spend a lot of time texturing, I´d like to share some of my favorite brush sets... more to come!
Those are all for photoshop and will as well work in Gimp:
Wonderful scale brusehs : Look here! (I have been using those a lot lately!)
Skin Pore Brushes, also useful for short hair stubble, dust and dirt... Click here!
Stone Texture Brushes (works also fine for rough skin on certain creatures): Find them here!
Tree Bark Brushes: Get them here!
Chainmail Brush Set (I love those!): Click here!

Squee, I love this Mav, thank you so much! Now my question is how do you use the brushes in strokes without blurring it all together? Only way I can use these is if I click, move, click, move, instead of using one stroke.
-
I love collecting brushes. Thank you for the links, Mav.
I don't seem to be able to open the scale or tree bark ones though. Since I don't use photohop I convert abr files using abrMate or abrViewer, neither of which will open those two files.

Aww poo, you are using a mouse? With a tablet they move smoothly and sensitive to pressure...Or maybe I did not understand you the right way, hahaha... XDWhat I do is having the textures created with them on extra layers where I can move areas around, rotate them, transform them in what way ever... not the most perfect way but still saves time compared to painting scales for example.

Oh, I am sorry, I have no idea about those things since they work fine for me in photoshop...

I have a tablet (bamboo, I think) that's over 3 years old that I know of, an dpossibly over 5 to be honest. However, I still use it sparingly due to my hands. I'm stil learning that puppy."I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. " Mark Twain.

Mmmm...as for brushes. >.> I have enough. ENOUGH. Last count I did was before the last HD meltdown months and months ago. I had well over 1000 sets/individual brushes. It was part of the reason beside my runtimes that my computer just didn't have enough oomph to get anything done! I had gone through that list of brushes and runtime content to delete those I hadn't used often and I was amazed I had so many. I had no idea at the time. O.o"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. " Mark Twain.

Photoshop takes note of what's in the brushes folder, but they aren't loaded until you tell it to load them up on the brushes palette.
As for switching out what's in the folder? Dunno.

Tried it myself last night, and it worked pretty well. The freckles tutorial is pretty cool, too. So is the eye-color changing. All handy for skin makers and portrait (?) artists.
