I created a Lighthouse a while back.... brick pattern for the round tower. 
The texture works great when closeup, but at a distance it looked way to 
funky...

The solution I came up with was to use some setting in my files for some 
options and assign alternate textures for different items.... for instance, 
if I'm doing a long shot of the whole 100+ foot tower I'm never going to 
get a good brick texture, but a nice granite with the proper colors works 
wonders :D

They had a similar problem when creating the 3rd Myst game (Myst 3: Exile) 
and where able to setup textures based on distance from the camera (feature 
of programming the software they used).... closeup and far away textures 
rather than just one.
