      In the picture the driveway has a semicircle brick pattern to it. Right now I'm using a herringbone brick pattern but would like to make it more like the picture so what's the best way do that. A circular pattern for it or use a UV mapping plugin to show the semicircle pattern to it.

      Thanks Walt

        Just use ThruPaint to map the texture...

        Click to play

        Play around with the scaling to get what you want

            Had some time today to try Rich's advice but not coming out with same results. The 2 bottom right and left faces aren't UV mapped correctly not sure why perhaps I missed a step.

              Well it's better, I think I may still have to play around with ThruPaint some more.
