Recommend a roof tile plug-in?

Andy, in my opinion, you should try a displacement map. It's the easiest way to do it, and I do that to all my wood siding. Here's some renderings I did for Habitat for Humanity. All the wood siding is a displacement map. You could do the same for the roof shingles. I used a gradient band from black to white to show the displacement. I also use displacement maps for brick and grass as well.

That being said, I kind of opted for this when I started really struggling with the batzal plugin. So this is a roof which I unwrapped and photo textured with a little displace on it. Funny coz I was against that from the start:

Edit: attachments suck. Here's one that isn't optimised to within an inch of its life...
