Looking at the picture in the previous post, I have had to ask myself: would there be walls of a different shade/type of concrete in the structure of a hotel?
When I look at the images of the shanty buildings I see different shades of concrete all over the place as the building has been modified and built upon or maintained with what is currently available rather than a duplicate of the original material that might be too difficult or costly to source.
When making a new building like a hotel the concrete will probably be mixed either on site and poured into plywood mouldings or created elsewhere and shipped in, in either case the mixture and type of materials should remain reasonably consistant.
Therefore, I think that to create a realistic looking building, I will need to use a wide variety of textures, BUT have them colour matched to a single image so that they all look like they belong to the same set. This will give the image the consistant look and feel that I want yet retain the natural randomness of the texture of the concrete that would be found in the real world.
Decision made!
