I've been using as few actual textures as possible lately. I am using the effects and noise of Cinema for most stuff. You can do that stone procedurally. The 'tile' surface does that very well, combined with noise. Remember it has a three-color 'random' variator.

 

OR--

 

If what you need is going to be fairly small, why not ortho-correct your photo sample and use it?

yeah, Frosty suggested c4d tile/noise too. i'm just not a proc man. not realistic enoguh for me. although, i'm certainly not closing the door on the idea just yet.

Dang, I just edited my post, not added a new one. I lost what I wrote.

 

This mat uses noise and tiles in color, bump and diffuse channels. It works well. It would be possible to randomly split the noise across tiles, which I haven't done, and don't have much time to do because of many deadlines this week and next. But have a look at this image.

 

The procedural means no maps to keep track of, balance lighting on, and NO TILING if you choose the right noise type, buit-in bumping by copying the channels, etc. A lot to like.

 

this does not have the noise split randomly across the tiles (you can see that) but it still looks pretty good

Maybe This Helps

slowely getting there -

 

thanks for the advice Ernest and Frosty

 

 

 

just got to optomise these noise/bump settings now. they quadrouple the render times.

 

cheers Videha, thats also the kind of thing i'm after.
