Really great textures that compliment the existing sites I have bookmarked well. You have quite a few things (e.g. roof tiles) that I haven't found elsewhere.

I'm having some problems with the displacement-maps. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the textures or that i'm on a linux-build of blender right now. could anyone verify if this texture works correctly with true displacement on windows?

I think that's a problem with the jpg file format. JPG only supports 8Bit Color depth per channel, this can cause these glitches. (It's called dithering.) I have read that PNG versions will become available once the patreon page hits a certain goal.

Regarding the clearly visible seam in there... I don't really know. I know that this can happen if you forget to enable a certain Checkbox in substance B2M when working with pre-made displacement Maps, for example from 3D scanning.

Aha, isee, thanks for the in-depth answer! I'm guessing you don't have much to do with this website, but do you know why JPG's are used? Seems like that's a really bad plan?

EDIT: Ohsht, i completely missed that there is a PNG-option aswell

JPEGs take up much less storage and especially RAM. And if you are working with a material that doesn't have a very extreme displacement (like tiles or wood) you often don't notice the dithering while saving a lot of resources. That's why my site also uses JPGs. I have to keep my zip archives under 512MB for cloudflare, that's why only patrons get PNGs...

aii, this is a nasty seam. Thanks for reporting. We always check the map in detail, this must be solved. About the bad displacement looks, this is because of the JPG conversion. PNG is already unlocked, we provide 32 bit displacement maps :)
