At Stock Footage For Free (a link I provided earlier), they actually have links to free sound effects, and free songs. Some of the songs sound pretty decent. They’re a little generic, and not amazing, but you can use them anywhere for free!
I’m not sure the thread deserves sticky in the general forums, but I think it would be a good idea to have an external resources section in the support forums, that way we could make threads about externals texture sites, reference site, etc, etc. For example check out Jessica Truscott’s deviant art page http://faestock.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0 She has images of herself and landscapes, and expressions etc. Her conditions are more than reasonable, simply credit her if you use an image for personal work, contact her for commercial use, and using as reference is fine. It would be nice to have a place to stick links like this.
www.blendedskies.com has some great free footage - including some that is already tracked in blender. The other footage they have is paid, but extremely reasonable prices. I give them two big thumbs up!
I find it interesting that there’s no thread category for resources. This could become a sticky thread, if we had a place like that to put it, I think though, the links should all be complied to a master post first, for organization sakes.
It’s a little bit scrappy but it’s neatening up all the time!
You should find some links to resources there for audio and video. The main categories at the top of the page should take you straight down to the appropriate section.
Might I make one small suggestion? If you make the font for section headings larger and leave more space after the end of a section, it’ll make the list easier to browse (as opposed to using the links at the top)… You know, for those who like to browse and kick tires.
I found things on your list I’d forgotten existed.
