Torley Textures available for download in a single ZIP pack!
Posted on: August 7, 2008
I’ve had a few astute requests recently to make all the Torley Textures available as an easy downloadable archive. This is also convenient if you aren’t a Second Life member and want to partake in the lush loveliness, or want to modify them then upload inworld.
I asked myself, “Why didn’t I do this earlier?” and then I recalled how I intended to get around to it, but lacked time at the time. (Ah, tricky tricky time.) Fast forward to today, and here we are, over 600 textures of awesomeness:
» DOWNLOAD TORLEY-TEXTURES.ZIP
Enjoy, and let me know in the comments if you have any questions — you can use them freely on commercial products & services, just don’t sell them as-is (that’s foolish, because I’m giving them away for free right here).

Torley,
I intend to use them as backdrops for my fashion photographies. Is is okay?

I didn't want the comments section to be so lonely, so let me take a moment to say THANK YOU, for the zip file! It's wonderful to have

Wow, Torley! Thanks! After using them inworld for almost everything I build (most often things that look pretty while I'm scripting, lol), I started downloading a few of them from Flickr to use as my desktop wallpaper, Twitter backgrounds, Plurk themes, etc.
I jokingly tell people, "I stole Krystal Wormsign from Torley", and when people ask me why I release my creations under Creative Commons, you're my inspiration and motiviation to do so.
Thanks again!

Judging from the "OMG READ ME.txt" file, it sounds like you've licensed the package under CC-BY-SA (or CC-BY-SA-NC, depending on how you view the "just don't resell as-is" comment).
It would be helpful for historical purposes to explicitly state what license the package is available under, both on this page and in the archive.

TO LICENSE-CONFUSED COMMENTERS: If you peek at any of Torley's images on Flickr, they all say in clear symbols (right under "Additional Information") that they're CC-BY-SA. Also he's clarified many times that he encourages any area of texture use short of actually having the texture itself become the item sold.
It seems safe to say: if in doubt, you can just have your galleries/displays/what-have-you also give kind mention to Torley's free textures (emphasis on FREE) as a valuable resource of yours.

Torley,
Thanks so much for all you do at Second Life. Your approach with teaching has made my experience in second life to me that much richer!
Three Cheers!
