Want some cool stuff?
LONG LIVE INDIE WEB.
I'll add more things as I find or make them.
This is a render of the example scene I have rendered so you can see the results of the blend file. You can change everything about it to suit your goals. Everything in this is made by me except for the landscape photo, which is credited in file.
Here is a blend file with an example scene to render your very own 3D wallpaper!
Simple instructions: Put furniture whatever you want plants art etc and go to the top left and hit render, when the window that comes up is rendered good enough for you hit the escape button and then top left save the image!
Advanced instructions: Look it up on youtube I'm not a good teacher lol

*I made this for you to use for free, don't be an asshole and try to sell my 3d models and art. I DON'T give permission.
Here are some handy templates for your lurk webpages too! Left is wallpaper/ layout, right is for stamps. The wallpaper template is for 16:9 aspect ratio so it might not be perfect for every screen but its a good base.
Grab both these templates here: https://mega.nz/folder/2Dx3lLIL#4p9c3_ukU_Fzn6NkuL_a8Q

This is a fantastic app for making collages on the fly either for fun like edits, art, mood boards OR you could even use it to make concept boards for designs. I love this app. You can also use all your pins from Pinterest in these. Love it.
MEDIA
UNSPLASH
This is a great site for grabbing photos and video clips for your projects and a great deal of it is free and NOT AI which is something we all want right now.
You can get all kinds of 3d models here to print but you dont have to use them for that, you can make renders using them or really whatever you want.
I use this almost exclusively for fonts I might need for any of my projects.
ITCH.IO
There's a ton of great stuff on this site but of main interest to me is the game assets, not that I ever let myself use them *eyeroll*
If you are a fiend for hex codes like me you're gonna love this. Every code comes with COMPLETE DATA including tertiaries, complementaries, shades and tones and all corresponding hex codes.
This site has 12 free tools for working with colors which, once you figure out how to use it are pretty handy. There's a paid version but I've not touched it.
PIXABAY
This site has a ton of free pictures, clips and audio for you to use in your projects. I recently used this for audio clips for some ambient music I made. No signup needed.
