Another rubber tyre texture taken from shots of an old tyre tread. Quiet a good patterned texture and on 100 percent magnification there are loads of detailed cracks in the rubber along with perishing rubber and slight hints of green moss that has started growing on the tread.
Got a few of these that I like added already in the Rubber Textures section, and am planning to get more added soon I have loads of shots but, I personally find the tread pattern quite ‘standard’ and am more inspired by the old split, rotting or new shiny elements.
This should be an interesting textures section to develop.

This addition to the site features shots from a checker plate aluminium sheet. The aged metal is covered in dust and dead bugs along with other things.
I have slightly altered the image and added a slightly darker border to the image, but thinking of having the original available as well. I have also some shots of the texture from a distance, with a greater variety of smaller checkers. I will get that added to the site soon.
There are a few more Checker-plate Textures also featured on my site that might also be of interest.

A slightly abstract leaf texture image featuring a sliver and green leaf. The right side of the texture is blurred due to the curve of the leaf, but the image is big and can be cropped accordingly. Love the detail sections on this one and the variety of veins and shapes.

CSS3 Animation for Chrome and Safari Browsers
by textures on Jun.07, 2011, under Latest News
As some of you will have noticed there has been no textures added over the past week, that’s due to seeing a tweet from Smashing Magazine on CSS3 animation, the minute I saw it I thought, I need to have a go at that. One week later on and over 2000 lines of code (that’s allot for someone who doesn’t really do code) and its live. Click here for the CSS3 Animation demo.
I used several different textures from my site to work up the main background image, including the kitchen doors, Floor and a subtle texture used on the back wall.
The CSS3 Animation features a large cat sleeping on the kitchen floor while all around mice come out to play. Lots of different animation styles and setting involved.
Should be back on with adding a few more of the textures over the next day or so, still got loads to feature on here. As always comments welcome on the new animation, love to see what you guys think of it.
