Add seamless texture over existing texture

Hi everybody. I need to place this dirt path texture on the ground texture between the two rows of trees and I want it seamless. I have made the borders of the path the same as the texture of the ground. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I know the model of this industrial complex has a lot of mistakes, but since it works it’s good

Model: ZAX FACTORY uploaded in 3D Warehouse.
Path texture, see below

  • Make your road texture seamless (I used Affinity Photo for that)

ret_05

  • Import the texture file by drag&drop into SketchUp (or as you are used to)

ret_07

My good old friend Mihai! Thanks a lot, If I understand it right, first you double seamlessly the road texture and then you add it to the model.
First, as I don’t have Affinity, I can double or triple as necessary the texture using Photoshop.
Second, when I place the texture to the model, things go wrong!

Can you explain how you make these clips you sent me, so I can make one to explain the problem?

You just have to make it seamless in the direction it will repeat
In Photoshop go to Filter > Other > Offset

In what sense did they go wrong? Did you follow exactly the steps in the GIF?

With ScreenToGif*

but the resulting file (.GIF) must be up to 5 MB to add it to this forum in its size.

You are great! Please allow me to consider you a personal friend.
All problems are solved.
Thanks again.

I’m glad!
Παρακαλώ !

Dear Mihai, here I’m back again. Long time no see… I hope you are fine.
I just want to let you know that I have opened a new topic that goes like this:

Problem with Sketchup performance. I’ve just acquired a very expensive Dell Inspiron 5505 laptop with a Ryzen 7 processor and a Radeon graphics card, supposedly both state of the art. The reason I bought it is that I need a fast computer for my sketchup projects. However, Sketchup runs desperately slow, slower than my good old obsolete laptop. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would be obliged if you had any suggestions.

Please don’t double post. You already started a thread on this topic.

In addition to what @DaveR said:
It’s better to send a private message to @mihai.s
Click on his avatar and click message.

You can ping by adding @ sign to the username in a public post, and it’s better than writing a private message because you’ll have more chances to get an answer from more people.

Anyway, thanks!

@iardanus came back to this old topic specifically to speak to you I believe.
In that case I think it is better to send a private message than to pollute a topic with a question that has allready been asked in a separate topic.
My guess is he also doesn’t know how to invite you in his new topic…
Invite = ping…
