Questions about these metal and rust textures
Can I use these metal and rust textures for free?
Yes, for personal and commercial projects. All we ask is a link back to BigFoto.com; the box at the top of the page has a credit link you can copy.
Which photos work best as a metal texture?
The corrugated, perforated and frosted metal, the grids and gratings and the rusty mesh and grates fill the frame with an even surface, so they work as metal and rust textures for overlays and backgrounds; the bolts, chains and wrought iron are close-ups with one subject.
