Does anyone know if there are any other good free resource sites for things like the branch textures? I’m trying to stick to stuff that CC0 (free including commercial use) when possible. I’ve found that textures.com doesn’t seem to be giving out the free credits anymore - or at least not reliably. I made my account months ago, have logged in multiple times each time the website comes up, and have never gotten any free credits. I’m struggling to find some good resources to practice his method of doing trees.

Thanks! I will definitely check these out! I’ve found a couple of REALLY nice sites that offer 2-4k PBR materials, but it seems a lot harder to find the ones that offer 2d transparent image textures. Maybe one of these will be what I’m missing in my growing list of resources.
I’m honestly half tempted to almost skip this section of the tutorial and try looking up how to do other types of trees anyways - as everything I keep seeing says that geometry nodes are a much better way of doing foliage. I was really hoping there’d be a tutorial on that in this section.

Just search the web image search for ‘tree branch alpha’. They are not really textures as such.

Yeah, I found something to use for this in particular, but I’m hoping to find long term solutions that I can use for things that will be monetized (whether through commissions, or creating materials for my own monetized content), and google searches are not always that clear about the rights attached to each image.
I found what looks like a good tutorial on geometry nodes for tree leaves though, so I may just try to go through that tomorrow, rather than doing the trees the way they are done here. I was honestly hoping that was what would be covered in the environmental tutorial, as I keep seeing everywhere that that is “the way to do it” with the newer blender versions.
