A collection of more than 600 FilterForge generated abstract textures by Torley Linden. Originally intended as a prize for his obstacle course in Second Life, these textures have been widely spread both in SL and on various opensim grids.
 
Please note that all these textures have already been uploaded several times to the hypergrid and it is recommended to use existing uploads whenever possible - there's no need to load the grid servers with more duplicates than necessary.

Zadaroo is perhaps best known for hosting all of Linda Kellie's works after Kellie took down her own website but there is also some good classic content by the siteowner there. Please note that everything from Zadaroo has already been uploaded several times to the hypergrid and it is recommended to use existing uploads whenever possible - there's no need to load the grid servers with more duplicates than necessary.
