3D Environment: Roof Tiles

 Now i have all the walls modeled with the roof frames put in as well i have been experimenting with the roof tiles. I wanted ti make them with slate as that was a common material around the time but was also an expensive one but i figured as a blacksmith he would be doing fairly well money wise to be able to afford some luxury's.
This would have work but once a i had used the slate texture on the roof there was something about the look which i didnt like, maybe it was the tiling or the ridges in my model which didnt matching how slate tiles would be placed it just did not look as good as i wanted it to.
I did some more research into what materials med-evil buildings would have used for roofing, the materials which were used are, straw/thatch, clay and slate i disliked the idea of straw so clay was the next best options and the different shades of orange came out really well, and i'm pleased that this changed came. Sometime the unexpected is good !.
