These walls are based on roman tiles and are perfect for a medieval or fantasy setting. They come with full permissions out of the box together with a basic texture which I've found fit quite well with them. Along for the ride are shadow-maps and an extra set of textures.

The roof tiles comes with shadow maps, my suggestion is that you save them locally and then open them in photoshop and simply add them by having the texture underneath and then select "Multiply".
There are other ways to do it as well. You can also go into levels of the shadow map layer and set the brightest point to 128 instead of 255. This will make the shadowmap gray out, then select "Overlay" instead of "Multiply" and it will add beautifully.
Anyhow, have fun with this set and do feel free to IM me if questions occur.

They look great but the lod is very low, very sad
Before buy it, i was reading the reviews, but they are the only roman roofs i found in the market place, will be a great product if the lod will have a strong lod. Any way i use them in my house, i used the tile texture in all the faces to avoid look bad when the cam is far.
Simply incomplete as a build tool
The primary problem is LOD: the tiles break up at around 25 meters, even with LOD set to 4.0. This means the roofs are unusable in an exterior build. Second, there is no way to make a proper hip roof with these tiles. The set only comes with 45 degree right triangles. But for a hip roof, at 45 degrees up and a 90 degree turn, the sides of the triangle need to be 1 to 1.4, that is to say 1.4 times as high as it is wide (the hypotenuse of a cube). Finally, the delivered tiles are not the ones shown in the photo here. The square sections use an over, over, over pattern, while the triangular sections use an over, under, over as shown in the picture.So the tiles sections don't match! This product needs a rework from the ground up. It's useless as it is.
