One is that it's not going to be your standard tiled material, like if you were doing a brick texture or a floor finish texture or something you would repeat a tiled image several times to get the illusion of the same material repeating across the surface.

To show you what I mean I'm going to select the flag, it's always a good idea to select something first before you orbit in 3D, hold the shift key down, drag my wheel to…
