Creating A Realistic Brick

jar73186 · June 8th, 2005

Does Any body have any suggestion or know of any tutorials for creating a realistic brick texture in 3ds Viz. I just started doing architectural models and so far I have not been able to create a realistic brick. All of the materials that I use look like somebody used a crayon and colored them in.
Thanks
Adam

Here's one I've done recently. Was just a combination of some noise, the Max Tiles material, and a bitmap with some texture for the bricks.

Jeff, that's a very nice brick technique. Would you mind sharing more about the settings and images you used? Would probably work great for shingles as well.

Thank you for the advice. My brick looks better. Unfortunatly it doesn't look half as good as yours but it does look better.
Thanks
