      Ok, so i need a very MODERN Skyscraper facade pattern (seamless would be great!). Like the texture of Freedom tower. Anyone know of a good texture? Here is a picture of Freedom tower if you need a reference:It's time for your closeup Thank you all very much in advance!

        Here is another example of a good facade. I can't use it becuase you cannot make a clean cut from it.

            Why not? True that it's not the best image for a cut (also rathe low resolution for a nice image and it will never tile nicely due to its pattern) but below is a (very roughly) "cut out" version of the mid portion of it:

            But over CGTextures, as Philip suggested, you should be able to find some more (I have never looked into modern architecture there however)

                  But that is really messy and does not tile well. None of those textures on the site are modern enough though....
