If you are a Lightwave user, then you have the ability to make some very
nice "drawings" as bitmaps.  Create a strong, geometric pattern of some
sort with LIghtwave, save it out as a bitmap, import it into Adpro or
other Graphics Manipulation/conversion util, and reduce the number of
colors and or size of the "brush" and save it back out.  Import this
image into LW and set the surface of your wall objects to a smaller
(about 1/10 or less) of each wall.  This will create a repeating pattern.

If you do not want to "roll your own", you can dl image maps from any
site or bbs.  I would look for Jpeg images as they take the least amount
of time to access and is a stable cross platform file format.

Import your reduced color version into DPaint or whatever and cut and
past until you have the "tileable" image map you are after.
