I am in need of an orange clay roof texture. Like this home has: http://www.westernroofing.net/Cover_Stories/cover_story_1_05/WR15a.jpg
More closely here:

Anyone know off hand of a really nice one? Otherwise I'll just search around.

Thanks!

That can certainly be made, just so long as you understand the shadows will look completely borked from certain angles. That's a pretty steep relief on roofs like that. It's not simple to bake the lighting convincingly on something so deeply rounded & grooved like it is with flat shingles or siding. When looking straight at it, it might look great, but as you move the camera around, you'll most certainly notice that the shadows & highlights stay still when they should be moving relative to your point of view. If you don't mind that effect, then it can certainly be done.

Lada look in my roofing section at Textures Unlimited. I believe I have something similar to that. If not I can probably create it for you. You can IM me in game if you need any additional information.

You will prolly get better texture from other folks, but here is a quick 2 minute texture extraction and rough seamless making from the right corner of the 'above roof view' image you provided. I used Texturemaker's Textractor tool to extract and deperspective the image, and 'shift and blend tool to make it seamless.
