Yes, but your words bely what I see. I see a very regular repeating pattern.

Personally, I like to use 100% procedurals for bricks. They never repeat. And I can get a much higher level of detail.

Not saying you have to do it, but if you're interested, learn to use matmatic, and go check out the linked thread.

Here is a sample letting you compare image-based bricks with procedural bricks on the same building. I think you should be able to figure out which is which :)


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
