How to make tiling/modular meshes not look so obviously tiled?

I think the distinction they are trying to make is, your textures already repeat on a local scale due to the UV mapping. This is what gives it the tiled look to start with. Now if you spruce up your materials and say add some mud/grime/rust material modifiers that are based on the object’s world location, this will help break up the patterns. Two houses next to each other may have the same base brick textures, but if they have mud splattered in difference places, then it will help break up the patterns.

Exactly! So my question is then, using your example, how do I splatter mud in different places across both houses within a single material? I could just place unique decals on each to break up the tiling, but that’s not what I’m looking for.

I looked at the M_Ground_Gravel material but that only seems to work if applied to a single, large area. If I place it on a repeating mesh, the tiling is just as apparent as with any material.

Thanks!
