''ImageARC has been a huge help for me. I can find a wide range of subject matter and I know the image quality is going to be great.  Often times, while working on really high resolution paintings it is difficult to find good reference, but ImageARC has come through.  From the nice panoramas to the cool fire and water effects,  I have been really impressed by the images that appeal to concept artists, matte painters, and texture painters.  Thank you!''

''There is an ever increasing requirement in Post Production for photo-real Visual Effects whether it be for Feature Film, TV or Video Games. At the heart of this is a desire for high quality reference material. We at Matte Painting UK constantly find ourselves in need of this valuable resource. If we can’t find what we need then it can add days or even weeks onto our schedual.
ImageARC offers us a wealth of high resolution source material – all of it produced with the VFX industry in mind. All the images are tailored to work easily and efficiently, and some even come with their own alpha’s, so much of the grunt work is already done. Wow! 
With their range of subject matter increasing every day, ImageARC is a ‘must’ for all VFX professionals.''

''I've found ImageARC to be a great resource with many unique texture sets that other sites dont offer, image quality and size is very good with no noticeable artefacts. I'll be keeping ImageARC bookmarked as a 'must visit' texture site.''

We took a gallon of Parrafin, a pyrotechnics expert called Dave and a 24 megapixel camera and put them together in a fire safe studio.

The result is a selection of 300+ amazing images, from gently burning flames to the explosive combustion of atomised fuel, all shots have been taken against black backgrounds so you can 'screen' them into your work with minimum re-touching involved.

Shooting at 24megapixel allowed us to capture full flame elements without the fire going out of shot, later when we crop out the black we are left with an extremely high resolution and perfectly whole image.
