Site contains a list of several software programs specifically for tiling images.
Tiled textures
Site contains links to DEM (digital elevation maps) of the entire globe in various resolutions.
Small collection but good
A series of tiled images
From:3D Photorealism Toolkit - Images designed to tile.
Image*After is a large online free photo collection. You can download and use any image or texture from our site and use it in your own work, either personal or commercial.
Many catagories including Raytracing
Welcome to the solar system surface map database, a NASA/JPL/Caltech spyglass on the cosmos. Select your planetary system of choice and download maps, or browse the surface features of your favorite planet or satellite!

Images of Pollen, Plant Pics, Photos, and Flowers. This is a very comprehensive photo data base and well worth the time exploring.
Evil Dr Ganymede's planetary maps site where you can download maps of other planets for use in 3D raytracing software such as POVRay, Lightwave, and 3DStudio. There's also a dowloadable model of the voyager space craft and other POV-Ray stuff.
Photographic images that may be used as 3D textures in your scenes. All high resolution. 350+ images.
This site is geared towards 'developing' digital images or photos. But what can be done is to submit your 3D rendered scene as a JPEG file and they will print it on photographic quality 4x6 prints. If you sign up soon, the first 100 4X6 prints are free.

These pages contain specifications for various graphics file formats; along with a number of relevant graphics utilities, information, and URLs.
The Internet Ray Tracing Competition is an open competition. Deadline for still image submission is every two months, for animations, every three months. Participants may use any 3D rendering program they choose. If you want to see the best there is in 3D rendering and raytracing this is the place to go.
342 free photographic textures.
