Ding Dong the ZIP is Dead

TextureKing — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:26:32 +0000

That’s right folks! TextureKing has finally gotten rid of the dreaded .zip file for the larger images. Now, any time you click on a thumbnail or “download” link you get to see that larger image immediately — without the extra step(s) of unzipping another file. Now, it should be easier than ever to find the right free stock texture you need. Enjoy!

TextureKing Homepage Updated

TextureKing — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:41:16 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I get tired of seeing the same “Recent Addition” stock photo on the homepage between updates. So, I’ve altered the code to randomly pull a stock photo from the repository and display it as a “Featured Texture” so you get to see a different free texture each time you come to the homepage.

18 New Free Photos

TextureKing — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:23:56 +0000

Just a quick update to the list of free stock photos. I’ve added 18 new images to the site ranging from concrete, grunge to plastics and wood. Enjoy!

1,013,832

It’s been some time since I’ve checked the download numbers for the site, let alone post any news at all, but I just had to let everyone one know just how astonished I am with the numbers you all have produced.

The free textures on TextureKing have been downloaded 1,013,832 times since we launched back in November of 2005. Now I know that doesn’t compare to the big boys out there, but for this little site it’s huge. Thanks and expect new stock photos in the coming weeks.

Free Texture iPhone Wallpapers

A good buddy of mine just recently launched a new site that caters to you lucky folks walking around with an iPhone in you pocket. He has crafted some high quality wallpapers that you can download for free. We were lucky enough to be able to work with him on the “Textures” section of his site — you can now get TextureKing textures on your iPhone for free!

25 New Free Textures

TextureKing — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:04:02 +0000

I’ve just added 25 new free textures to the site ranging in category from liquids to wood & plant. Work has been keeping me busy as of late, hence the really long time since the last update. Hopefully, as things settle down as we near the winter holidays I can start uploading images with more frequency.

Upgrading to Wordpress 2.2

TextureKing — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 10:40:42 +0000

Update Wordpress 2.2 has been installed and after working through a few glitches, it appears that the site is running just as smoothly as it was prior to the upgrade. Thanks again for your patience.

316,000+ Free Textures Downloaded

TextureKing — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 20:16:54 +0000

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve announced any stats on the number of downloads that have been going on at TextureKing. This site is only a few months pass its first birthday and already you all have downloaded the free photos 316,791 times. That number simply astounds me. More photos to come.

Updated Category Pages

TextureKing — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:51:44 +0000

Those of you who visit frequently will notice that I’ve revamped the category pages. I figured that it was time to make it easier for you all to download TextureKing’s free textures. The previous layout just didn’t present the images as well as it could have. Hopefully the new layout does a better job of this.

Feel free to contact me with any issues or further suggestions for improving the site for you all. Thanks again for visiting and keep downloading those free textures

It’s a little late for it, but I hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. I’ve just wrapped up updating our free textures with 31 new images. The textures range in category from concrete, to ice, to wallpaper. Thanks and enjoy.
