Default Re: how to maintain silicon gird in facade

You could also CLONE your exterior walls and use that for another texture.

For instance, I had to make a skyscraper recently in a class I'm taking and I made a rectangle with segments every 3 meters (for the floors or levels).

I cloned it and applied a lattice modifier to the clone.
I then applied a concrete texture to the lattice structure and a glass material to the original structure.

Didn't turn out half bad.

But I think that would be a basic texture applied to the surface, with a BUMP map.
