There is a new little goodie in the Wall Worm collection called ProPal now. I built this tool to help quickly create tiling textures by modeling. The tool uses standard Max methods like rendering to texture with projection modifiers, but allows you to do this with far fewer clicks and time.

See the ProPal docs for more information and example textures created using ProPal.

There is currently a release sale where you can get ProPal for only $4 through Sunday.

And here is an updated graphic to help explain what ProPal does:
