.dds format texture files for non-commercial use

Here are 33 of my texture files from my sci-fi exploration project (which is currently on hold)

texture/patterns in .dds format for TS3 creations. Some of these were created to make terrain paints and some were not. I think they would make wonderful CAS patterns, but I haven't really dabbled in that arena yet so feel free to make some! I have tons more textures, will post more later if there is any interest.
The terms of service from where I got the images for these prohibit commercial use so keep them FREE.

All that I ask is that you post back a link of what you made on my blog comments somewhere--so we I don't reinvent the wheel (so to speak), when I return to terrain paints and patterns projects at a later time. Only because it would be wasteful to spend time making these into patterns, for example, if you have already done so.
Enjoy!

Covering New Ground-

UPDATE: Some texture .dds files have been posted in a new post. Feel free to use them as desired.

Here are some science-fiction(ish) themed terrain paints I made recently to assist me on my alien worlds exploration.

The Mines of Tanizlar (see post labeled CAW for more pics)

There are 5 sets (4 sets of 5 and 1 set of 3 for a total of 23 paints). The display pics were taken ingame on ground measuring 8x16 tiles each. Each file is numbered and referenced on an image included the download.
I'm calling this batch Release A because I have many more dozens of textures I intend to convert into terrain paints and CAW textures (1024x1024 in .dds format). You can do as you please with these textures, just kindly link back to this blog when you give credit.
