Pavers look milky in 3d

I think I found these paver paterns in the archicad folder.
Is there a way to get them to read better than this, they look milky like they are being seen through a fog or somthing?

If that texture is pavement-04_d100.png, than that is how it looks, it has a dull appearance. To change the color intensity you could edit the texture in an application like PhotoShop.

Here's that texture file made more contrasty in Photoshop, in case it helps. Can't say I've ever seen such colorful pavers. 😉

Thanks Karl,

We have them here in Palm Desert. I'm going to see if I can replace the
archicad file with yours and see if it works (aligns well)
I don't have the photo shop thing. too expensive and a bit intimidating for my pea brain:-) I'm just able to get AC to do what I need after using since version 5 or 6 🙂
