Texture and modelling resources

[Guessmyname]

A big list of resources for texturing and modelling, from tutorials to reference pictures to texture packs themselves. If you have a site that's not on the list, add it to the thread (so keep random chitchat to a minimum so I can find them easily)

Reference Pictures
Google Image Search, Flickr and Deviant Art are useful, the latter especially for sci-fi and fantasy designs
http://www.a2armory.com/medar.html <- site with weapons from medieval to modern, useful as references
http://www.solaris7.com/ <- lots of battletech art, useful for mechs
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk <- Games Workshop's uber-expensive site for specialist kits, but comes with lots of pictures.
http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm <- nearly every man-portable gun under the sun can be found here
http://www.the-blueprints.com/ <- no points for guessing what this site's good for (note: it's vehicle/ship/stuff blueprints, as opposed to buildings)

Textures
http://www.cgtextures.com/ <- lots and lots and lots of textures (well, photographs taken specifically for texture creation) - not as useful for RTS texture making, but still good for things like overlays and vents and wheels.

Tutorials
http://www.cgtextures.com/content.php?action=tutorials <- these tutorials are aimed more at FPS texture creation, but it contains a lot of useful tips and tricks for photoshop. So many, it even has it's own list of them, and also explains all the blend modes. Useful reference
http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Mod_and_ ... evelopment <- our own wiki. Useful snazz abound in here.
There's also a lot of useful tutorials posted here in the forum. They're usually stickied, and can generally be found in Art and Modelling (this forum) and Game and Mod Design

Yay!

The forgeworld seems to be down though.

My fault. I forgot they've moved to .co.uk now (used to be .com)

I also use flickr very heavily for my texture references.

The Blueprints - a sizeable collection of reference pics for modelling real-world equipment (ww2 and modern), incl. tanks, aircraft, ships, civilian vehicles and more. Also has some Star Wars and Star Trek stuff.
