Here's another freebie thats escaped from the dark recesses of my hard drive. This time the "Proof of Concept" Set for a product. Obviously now free :)
The original idea behind this one was a script (written in Perl By Kastaway) would create a series of prop walls, arches, columns and roofs. The really clever part was that the script would create meshes where each part had a random and unique pattern of modelled rocks or bricks.
The second design aspect is each prop only has 2 material zones [walls/rock] or [mortar/brick], which reduces system load and allows the artist to easily apply high or low resolution textures (lo-res supplied). Which also (as shown in image 2) gives the artist the ability to make very quick changes.
Note: If you render closeups or in high resolution, for best results replace the low/med-res textures supplied in this freebie with app specfic shaders or high res maps.

Lovely, thank you!
I don't wish to look a gift horse in the mouth, and I am very grateful but... The brick arch is architecturally impossible. It'd collapse before it was even built.

Thank you Mr. Sparky!
The dust settled, thinking "what a fine home, at least for now" not realizing that doom would soon be coming in the form of a vacuum cleaner.

Having been a British builder in the past, I can confirm you're right.
