These textures tile so much better than other options. Do you have plans on including support maps such as normal, specular, and displacement maps?

YES! If you need these for your project, please contact us and we will make our best effort to prioritize production of these maps for your project.

What are "free powerups"?

From time to time, we may discover that subtle changes in a texture may make it even more tileable, or we may increase resolution.  Eventually we will add support maps such as normal maps, bump maps, specular maps, etc.  Some images, such as lamps, may include OBJ models in the future.  Some images may be augmented with additional vector path art within the files.  We will add these to existing product, and offer them as free updates.  These are "power-ups".
