It might be best to model the coping. Especially on a curved pool. Otherwise, you may have to break your coping into pieces to get the mapping close.
This sample was made by extruding the coping around the pool. Then using the same path, used array to spread a thin solid for the grout, which I used interfere to create the shapes.
Yes, it will add some weight to the file, but I don't think you'll get it close with just a material (unless its a square pool and then planar mapping will probably work out.

basically, build each tile

good. Its a bunch of work, but I think in the long run, really makes a difference.
The samples are fro an old ar3/4 job. That material used some fake caustics which really doesn't work very well in nXt.

The Wallpaper on the left has an interesting structure, maybe it would look even better, if you make the texture seamless + applying a little bit of depth, e. g. with highpass - filter in PS?"

Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.

I searched the former forum posts and found another option to solve this problem which is another plugin to autocad-----AUTOMAPKI. You can give it a try."

3ds +obj import works for older files-'xfrog-plants', for instance... .Comments + Critics appreciated!Hopefully accurender still survives!
"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("
