I used to think that all the time so I just bought a PC instead. Much easier!

Is this what you are looking to do?

Thank you! Yes, the result you delivered is what I expected to get.
A couple of notes:

There's strong ripple distortion of the checker texture. It will seen if finer textures (like decking or tiles) will be applied. Ho to fight this issue?
2.We saw lots of tedious manual labor. Do you have any plans to automate somehow the aligning part?
There's by no means any bit of criticism- I only try to clarify the things.

I see a lot more manual work on my current process right now

Ripples are because the texture in the viewport is not a bitmap. here's the result for you to look at...

Of course. First we need to nail down to workflow then add the features.

I'd disagree. I replaced the asphalt texture with decking and this here's result. It's important in Archviz and it should be addressed.

Rich O Brien

That's interesting.

I'll look at this.

One thing worth noting is we're only process Tri meshes. Distortions like this are artefacts of such meshes.

But not the outcome we want. Thanks for the heads up.

So this unwrapping is one step further to texturing a model or asset that fredo paint for example, can do?

Fredo's extension is a great tool, but the Substance programs (Designer, Painter and BTM) along with SubstanceTheaConverter gives you much more power to add things like worn edges and other "realistic defects".

However, to do that you need an unwrapped version of your model. That's why Wrap-R is so critically important.

What replacement method did you use? I'm not getting the same result.

cmeed

Riiiiight got it! The ramp clip is a good example - revelation time.

rv1974

Thomtom's replace material all the way.

But you'd get the same result even without replacing, try attached.
p.s. it was discussed 4 years ago.

p.p.s. Doh! moment: PaintThru delivers almostperfect result in this specificcase, see printscreen

Higher subdivision works well even in harder situations; if Wrap-R could map it right without adding more poly counts it'd be step further.
