We all love textures, right? I was recently emailed by a BittBox reader about a new texture site, LostAndTaken.com. It’s a blog style site and definitely worth bookmarking. All of the textures I downloaded for testing were a massive 3072 x 2048px, so I’m guessing the author has a pretty darn kick-ass camera. Oh yeah, and all of the textures are copyright-free and can be used for personal as well as commercial purposes.

Its time for some more free stuff everyone, and I have a good little giveaway for you! The kind folks over at Electric Rain have offered up 3 copies of Swift3D V5 ($249 value each) to 3 lucky BittBox commenters. If you’re not familiar with Swift3D, it’s a very powerful 3D modeling/animation software that makes it super easy and fast to create stunning 3D animations and import them directly into Flash without writing a single line of code. Even if you don’t win, enter the promotional code “BITTBOX” to save 15% off the regular price. Details and more on the software after the jump.

Alright everyone, I’ve just finished up a new font I’ve been working on for your downloading pleasure! My inspiration for this font came from Sideshow, by Harold’s fonts. I hand drew every character on paper before tweaking them on screen. The font contains A through Z and 0 through 9. In case you’re wondering what ‘fusty’ is, it means “Old fashioned in attitude or style.” It was a fun font to make, and I hope you all put it to good use :)

I’m back from about a week-long hiatus, and I wanted to kick things back off with some killer freebies. This is another set of “hand-drawn” decorative ornaments. A lot of you seemed to like the first set and I enjoy making them, so I decided to crank out some more. These were hand sketched on pencil/paper then scanned and converted to vectors. They may not look like vectors, but trust me, they are. Available in EPS and SVG, as always. Preview of what’s inside after the jump.

Time for some more free vectors? Yeah, I thought so too. I had a lot of fun making these on the Wacom. Let me know how you like them in the comments. I can pump these out relatively quickly, so If everyone likes them, I’ll prep for round 2. Anyway, hope you can put them to good use :)
