Faux Board-on-Board or Board-n-Batten Siding

When every I have project with a Board-on-Board or a vertical batten over Premium grade plywood, I have used the "Siding 04A.jpg" for the Surface Texture. It is from a Sidings folder it a "Textures JPG" folder that I have saved from some old ArchiCAD release. The Fill type is just a Symbolic fill I created and that works fine for vertoral elevatino views.
I am not a Photoshop or Gimp expert or hardly even a user, but I want to be able to have a similar surface texture but a painted option. I recall a discussion of using the Trussmaker option to create a "true" batten of the wall faces, but it can be tedious.
Below is the residence we are creating as-builts for.

You could also use the curtain wall for this...

Set up a grid with best division and a vertical grid that you can align on the windows.  

Edit the curtain wall to make openings for the windows....
