Mextures vs SketchUp Texture Club

Mextures offers photo-editing textures, overlays, film presets, and apps for creating film-like effects. Its iOS editor supports unlimited layers that can be moved, hidden, rotated, and adjusted for opacity. The product page lists more than 200 stackable textures, including grain, dust, light leaks, and color gradients, along with 30 film presets and more than 300 Formulas. Formula Manager lets users import Formulas from others and export their own to share. Console is a free Photoshop plugin in beta; it works with Photoshop CC 2016–2023 on Windows 10 or newer and macOS 11 or newer. The maker warns that the current Console version crashes with the latest Photoshop and macOS Sonoma. Film Presets are compatible with Console, Lightroom CC 2021/2022, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere, with separate software-specific versions required for separate purchases. They are not conversion LUTs, so RAW or LOG footage needs to be normalized first. Listed options include the iOS app at 1.99 USD once and the X-Film Overlay Pack at $10 a month.

SketchUp Texture Club is a portal for finding material textures used in graphic design, visual effects, computer games, and other image-based work. Its emphasis is visualization and rendering for architecture and interior design, with resources for students, professionals, and people learning 3D visualization. The library is divided into architecture, materials, nature elements, and backgrounds and landscapes. Users can search, browse categories, view enlarged previews, save favorites, and filter categories to show only PBR textures with maps. A free account permits up to 15 low- and medium-resolution downloads per day, though some textures are unavailable. Club Member costs $17 a year and allows up to 50 high-resolution texture downloads per day, mapped textures where available, and unlimited daily 3D model downloads. Files come as compressed.RAR archives; the site names WinRAR for Windows and The Unarchiver for Mac. Textures can be used commercially without royalties or usage fees, but cannot be resold or redistributed as a competing product, and some rendering uses are restricted. The nonprofit portal is managed by Image Promotion Association.
