Im with dave, it will make it easier based on materail, less duplication etc and better to work with.

Why not run instances? Or does Maya have a cloner object like c4d? I can run multiple types and have it sort random. That way at max I only have to do a few to get the variety. That and adding noise in the overlay channel to break it up even more. Just seems like overkill to punch out that many UV's. Your texture res is gonna have to be beastly now to keep from having pixelation issues on the main map.

Why cant you just UV one piece of the track then just apply that texture to the rest??? or am I losing something along the line. If you have UV all of them (transfer attributes of course) then just map one part, texture and apply to the rest??? or wont it do that?

Yeah dave, as I saw you enjoyed it few weeks ago, lol

bullet and Chavfister, I did it almost exactly as you wrote, first just mapped one part and then copied it to rest of the links,but problem was that position of copied UVs was every time the same, so I had 112 UVs at each other.
Due to that it will not be possible to create some details like dirt, mess, clarts etc. on different parts of track.

EDIT:
Well guys, can you explain me this ? Why normals on default quality rendering mode works well, but once I choose Viewport 2.0 some of them get reversed :/

norms are okay dave just color is black, anyway on HQ and DQ rendering mode both color and norms works well, so maybe it's some kind of bug ....
