Need help with tiling textures

dacad

Hi guys

Does anyone know a good tutorial ou tips about solving the problem with textures with big aerial views? At close range i can solve tiling but at very far away views (like an aerial view seeing a big full buidling) the tiling (from the floor for example) gets notice too much.
So if anyone now how to solve this, in the materials/render setup or in post process i'll really apreciate the help.

Thanks

David

in post process: clone stamp tool to add some variation. you can also use the burn tool (to shadows) and dodge tool (to highlights) to give some difference in tone.

before render: open the texture in photoshop and tile it yourself adding some variation, again, with clone stamp, overlays etc. so you'll end up with a much bigger texture. It takes a bit of messing around to stop obvious repetition but its always worth it.

Thanks for the help olishea
No one awswer this for so long that i tough no one knew. Anyway thanks again. That's normally what i try to do but it's a pain and sometimes i don't een have time, so i was hoping there would be some trick we could do in the render like using procedural textures to "randomise" the paterns.
Well i think this means no shortcuts here...lol (i shoudn't be so lazy:P)

Thanks

Sure you can do that in renderer, if the renderer supports layer weights or similar. You could blend two ground textures with a procedural weight.
