    Hi there, you certainly wouldn’t want to recreate that texture as it’s quite complex so your quickest option would probably to do some projection mapping onto your model.

    The model looks quite simple to recreate, in fact it looks like you only need one arch and the other two can be copies. Then if your texture is high enough resolution (i expect the purchased version will be) then you can project the texture onto the model.
