This is why I like Tutorial9 so much, I get to learn about practical tips and effects, or in this case, resources that I could actually use; not just some obscure effect that’s rarely useful (sadly, there’s a lot of those on the net).
Props to Tutorial9 and all it’s tutorial authors!
Flag as inappropriatethis is awesome!
Flag as inappropriatethanks so much!
you’re a champ

Flag as inappropriateSxc.hu, or Stock Exchange doesnt do anything bad with your personal info. If you dont want to give them your email, use http://www.guerrillamail.com/. Once youve signed up theres tons of great images.

Flag as inappropriateI like that. I’m always looking for useful textures and I wondered about the site “http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml”.
There are some nice graphics. I wanted to Sign Up, but I find it bad that I have to give them my personal informations.
So I haven’t signed up now.
