How do you download these resources?

Its quite simple really - just navigate until you are given a dialog screen asking you where you want to put the downloadable file.  Then simply select an appropriate folder and press 'OK' to save it to your computer.  All files in this downloads section are in the ZIP archive format, so you may need a program such as WinZIP to decompress the files if your system does not support them natively.

The many different versions of Photoshop all have variable abilities, and every successive iteration of the software seems to add a ton more features.   The absolute minimum spec I recommend for the resources featured is Photoshop 6 or greater.

Yes you can, but PLEASE DON'T!  Downloading everything simply because its there uses up a lot of bandwidth on the server, and is especially wasteful if you have no intention of using the resources you download.  Just remember - this section is intended to remain as a long-term repository of top-notch resources, so just browse and download what you need as you need it.  Those shapes you like the look of will still be there next week, and the week after that, and the.... well, you get the idea. ;)

To stop annoying little hotlinkers draining bandwidth, all downloads are verified through a server-side script that checks you are indeed browsing from my site.  To do this it reads a few variables from your browser.  If you have your security settings set to very high levels, it may refuse to give the information required, falsely identifying you as a bit of a dodgy character.  Alas there is no way around this - the security does much more good than harm, so just tweak your browser a little for the time you are on Biorust.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that question.  All downloads in this section are created by third parties, so you will have to contact THEM directly for approval.  Do not assume that just because they give us distribution rights, that they will do the same for you.   Besides, its only polite to ask...

In my experience, I can say that seeing their resources in action is the biggest reward a brush/shape/etc artist can experience.  You may also want to send them an e-mail or other message thanking them for their tireless efforts in the community.  It also goes without saying, of course, that a little acknowledgement in the artwork copyright or accompanying text will not go amiss either - its just polite after all.

We re-distribute high quality creative resources.  If you think that you have a few brushes/shapes/etc of value to us, just fill in the contact form and we will get back to you ASAP.
