Where can I get free textures for Strata3d? Preferably metallic ones.

The texture vault at Meowx Design has some good ones. Sign up at the website, and you're all set.

Don't you have to contribute textures to sign up for the vault at meowx? According to one of meowx's previous messages, some accounts were deleted because they did not upload anything. Why does he require that people sign up? Can't he just make them publically available?

No, you don't have to upload anything immediately after joining (although I don't blame David for deleting idle accounts). He requires you sign up, since you are given access to a part of Meowx's server, where you can upload textures via FTP.
Ok, that sounds cool. How long after signing up until I can expect my account to be activated?

Well, I had problems the first time I registered (didn't get access for a few months), but after contacting david concerning the matter, I had access within the hour. I believe you'll get your own access once he decides to update the website again...
The only problem with using Meowx for it is that I would have to learn how to make textures so I could upload them and be an actual member, and that defeats the purpose. Also, I don't have an FTP program and I doubt my parents will let me get one anytime soon.

Yeah, I just got my account activated (that was fast :)) and he says I have to upload something withing a few weeks. :frown:

Also, cadet, FTP programs are not hard to come by. You can get a few of them for free (Fetch was free, at least my version. Thank goodness for Macworld CDs :)). But if your parents would rather you not get those kind of applications, I completely understand.

Oh god, please not Fetch. It was the one we all started with, but frankly, it sucks. Search download.com for Transmit. It's a heckuva lot better, and it actually conforms to the HIG. And besides, you get REALLY tried of the running dog...

Nah, I like the running dog.
As long as it works, Fetch is what I prefer. You don't need anything big and complicated to upload files via FTP. It does the job...
Originally posted by Captain Skyblade: **Nah, I like the running dog.;)
But that's the thing, it's not big and complicated. It behaves just like it should, like a window on your desktop. There's really only one option you need to learn, and that's only if you're uploading CGI scripts. If you know how to use the Finder, Transmit comes naturally.

Most people prefer simplicity when it comes to such programs (myself included), which is what makes Fetch so popular. If it does the job, why bother with anything else? That's like the army investing an extra two million dollars for every tank they buy simply because it has more pieces and parts...
Just my two cents.

Agreed, I use Transmit all the time. Its WAY better than Fetch (not to mention the fact that its fun to imagine the Transmit icon running over the Fetch dog repeatedly... mwuhahaha...). Plus, its just as simple (yet much more interesting to look at) than Fetch's dull B&W; interface; its like comparing OS 7.5 to 9.2 in terms of appearance.
Transmit can be found at (url="http://"http://www.panic.com/")Panic.com.(/url)

You're all sick!!! Sick, ya here me! It's better to lanuch the Fetch icon into space on the Sputnik 2 (aka Mutnik)...hehehehe.
Back to the textures. Anyway, if you use Strata 3D, (url="http://"http://www.statacafe.com")Strata Cafe(/url) has some good ones. If you use Mechanisto, (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/madman801/Textures.sit")here(/url) are thousands. Otherwise, I can't help ya.

madman, your link for mechanisto textures is broken... As I would be interested in that file, do you think you could supply me with a working link?

Sorry about that...AOL has been so unrelyable...Anyway, it should work now. It includes all of the textures I made, and some that the maker of Oreste and Overflow used. I like the Gris Confed...it was on almost all of my ships. Anyway, if you use Mechanisto, go to and click on the shipyard section. There are several ships and weapons availible for download. The link above mentioned should now be http://www.geocities...01/Textures.sit . Have fun!

That doesn't work: when you're downloading straight from Geocities, put a ? after the URL. Here, if this doesn't work, then just copy and paste it (with the question mark) into the location bar. File at: (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/madman801/Textures.sit")http://www.geocities...01/Textures.sit(/url)?
Ah ha! I knew there must be some string on the boards that was responsible for the amazing number of account requests these last couple weeks... anyway, I require that people sign up because the TD is based on the concept that you give a little and get a lot. If I didn't have people sign up, then I'd be supplying ALL the textures... not as fun for me AND not even close to as many new textures for everyone else! Well, you get the point. -david-
