Thanks Bryan K & allanx.

For the concrete texture I used, here it is.

EDIT: I also adjusted the bump amount to a lower value.

The grass are somehow too scattered but if i put more density and increase the amount per meter till the grass are dense enough to look a bit realistic ( not too bold to be view on the land) i get super slow rendering.

Well, I was "hopeless" 😆
Anyway, thanks guys for the advice to me.
Someday I will install my 3ds Max 2012. I just left it zipped because I'm still not using it (that I'm using Sketchup)
😢

Here it is.

Wow Pete, that looks great. Nice tease on the plugin. Artisan 2 perhaps?

Here's a quick UV mapping with the last model. Quick export of half the chair via Whaat's UV Tools, into 3ds Max. Converted to Edit Poly, Ran Unwrap UVW modifier. Selected all faces, ran a pelt map procedure followed by a relax by face angles. Back into Sketchup via UV Tools gateway. Still a bum seam down the middle, but if cushions are added, it's a non-issue.

UV_Toolkit

UV mapping automation:

tries to fit the texture of the current material onto all quad-faces in the selection. The texture should fit once across the face, no tiling. Rotates the orientation of the textures on the quad-face, Transfers the material from one side of the face to the other. UV mapping will be mirrored.

Cylindrical and spherical mapping on surfaces.

UV Projection
by J. Sandstrom
Can easily fix messed up UV's by projecting planar UVs on a selection in either X, Y or Z axis.

Cylindrical UVtools may work best
