Texture mapping for big areas

[llonghi]

Hello everyone,

I opened this thread to ask you guys whats the best way to texture, for example, a parking lot floor and not keep the texture repeated. I am doing it in Photoshop, by creating a new big file and repeating the texture side by side and trying to change the connections between them.

Is it a good way to do it? or its better to have the pavement Black and White, and then play with the noise and other maps to blend with it ?

Are you making that texture from scratch? Or are you trying to make a seamless texture from a photo?
