I'm a new guy so I'm thinking about different methods for doing roads. Has anyone thought about using a graphics program like Photoshop to generate the road surface? It would be possible to add special effects like potholes or cracks fairly easily. It would even be easy to generate curved roadway. Varying weather effects are possible. Any results could be saved and used multiple times. You could use an ordinary inkjet printer to print on a photo matte type paper. If laying down over foam it would be easy to deform the paper slightly to make more realistic potholes or cracks. If you wanted more texture, you could print on a watercolor paper or even canvas.
