Sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the content. Of course we value your business highly, and are not at all trying to disprove your statements one way or the other. Our goal with the above response was simply to clarify that at least ‘some’ tiling is necessary in order to maintain a sufficient level of detail within any texture, and perhaps more importantly, to (hopefully) offer some potential solutions to the perceived problem of visible tiling within large landscape surfaces, so that you might still get the full value out of your purchase.
Similarly, it is our hope that potential future users might read this and see how the textures can be tailored to their own specific use cases by applying some of the techniques described above, instead of missing out on the high value that we offer due to unnecessary concerns.
Regarding the issue of needing to keep looking for a more appropriate solution, we still maintain that our textures should be perfectly suited for nearly any realistic art style, and unless your project is overly stylized, should be perfectly appropriate for your project too. But only when used in conjunction with some of the above mentioned techniques. If, however, your intention is to apply the textures to a very large landscape surface without using any of the above mentioned techniques to mask the tiling, then I fear it may prove extremely challenging (if not impossible) to find the more appropriate solution that you are looking for without sacrificing most of your detail in the process.
We like to think of a good texture like a good sword. Even the most expertly crafted weapon can only be as effective as the techniques that it is used with.
Best!
