In their own words
Architextures
Architextures is a web materials library and editor for architects, interior designers, and other design professionals. Its library contains more than 8,000 seamless textures available as high-quality PNG files. In the Create editor, users can change patterns, scale, and grout; the procedural materials also allow dimensions, patterns, and colours to be edited. Users can upload their own materials from a photo. Official plugins are listed for SketchUp, Rhino 8, Revit, and Vectorworks, and formats include PNG, DXF, SVG, AutoCAD hatch, and Revit model and drafting patterns. The Free plan costs nothing and covers personal and educational use with standard texture downloads. Pro costs $89.99 a year and adds high-resolution downloads, PBR options and maps, CAD and Revit hatches, more patterns, custom materials, commercial use, and team management. Commercial use requires Pro, and downloaded content cannot be used commercially after the subscription expires. The service says its materials are for visual reference and are not guaranteed to be dimensionally accurate.
