Water and glass are the two most complex materials in terms of design. They’ve no color or shape, so it’s hard to capture their beauty and changeable nature. But at every moment of success, they can become material for an absolutely stunning water and glass texture, which makes any artwork precious.
Every time we touch upon textures, I like to remind that making a custom texture is a piece of cake. And if neither of the suggested images works for you, you can always make if yourself — we even made up a tutorial to guide you through it. However, with glass textures, the situation is different, as sometimes they call for great effort and expertise. This is particularly relevant for frozen glass textures. Apparently, a custom image isn’t a solution in this case.
That’s why we’ve come up with 60 rare glass textures, trying to bring beauty and incredible quality together. And it looks like we did it! The featured imagery is shot by professional photographers and represents all most-wanted variations: frosted, broken, black, and even stained glass textures, all filled with shining colors. And yet we don’t know what sort of projects you are going to use them, we can say for sure you’ll find your perfect match!
