If you’re like me, you’re not very fond of writing actionscript. It can be frustrating, and time consuming.

Bannersnack makes it quick and easy to make Flash banners for online ads, stripping you of the need to write any code, whatsoever.

(sorry, I couldn’t help myself after all the witty comments last week) Today I’m sharing some textures featuring small rocks and pebbles that would work perfect for 3D architectural renderings, among other things.
