How BricksPattern fits into an archviz pipeline.

Add the modifier, pick a pattern, set element dimensions and joint depth — the mesh is updated in real time. You can stack BricksPattern with other modifiers, or collapse it to a static mesh when the geometry is final.

How BricksPattern fits into an archviz pipeline.

01

1. Apply to any mesh

Select a plane, wall segment or curved surface. Add BricksPattern from the Modifier list. The plugin reads the UV channel and subdivides the surface into the brick layout immediately.

02

2. Adjust parameters

Change pattern type, brick dimensions, joint width and joint depth. Add per-element height and size variation using the seed controls. All changes are non-destructive while the modifier stack is active.

03

3. Assign materials and render

Apply a Multi/Sub-Object material using the automatically assigned Material IDs. Render with V-Ray, Corona, Arnold or any other renderer. The real geometry produces correct shadows and AO without baking.

04

Automatic Material ID zones

BricksPattern assigns separate Material IDs to brick faces and joint faces. This lets you apply different materials — glazed vs matte, weathered vs fresh — to each zone using a standard Multi/Sub-Object material.

Modifier capabilities

BricksPattern vs BricksMap

BricksPattern does not produce a texture map — it modifies the mesh itself. The result is a surface with actual raised or recessed element geometry that responds correctly to any lighting setup, especially in close-up renders.

▱

Surface-conforming modifier

BricksPattern applies to any quad or poly mesh — flat walls, cylindrical columns, vaulted ceilings. The brick layout follows the local surface curvature and UV space, so curved surfaces look correct without manual adjustment.

⌁

Pattern types: masonry, parquet, paving

Choose from Running Bond (1:2, 1:3), Stack Bond, Flemish, Basket Weave, Herringbone, Hexagonal and more. Pattern geometry is built from parametric element dimensions: width, height, depth, and joint width.

#

Real joint geometry

Joints are three-dimensional: their depth, bevel angle and width are all controllable. This produces accurate shadowing and self-occlusion in renderers such as V-Ray and Corona without relying on bump or normal maps.

ID

Per-element variation

Each brick or tile can receive individual random offsets in size, position and surface height. The variation is controlled by a seed value, giving you reproducible results while keeping the look natural and non-repetitive.

Works alongside BricksMap

BricksPattern and BricksMap are complementary. Use BricksMap for full-scene texture maps and repeated materials; use BricksPattern for foreground or hero elements that need real 3D brick topology for close-up camera shots.

Workflow

Slik passer Brickspattern inn i en archviz-arbejdsgang.

Legg til modifieren, velg et mønster, og angi elementmål og fugedybde — meshen opdateres i realtid. Brickspattern kan stables med andre modifiers eller kollapses til en statisk mesh, når geometrien er færdig.

01

1. Anvend på enhver mesh

Velg et plan, et vegsegment eller en buet overflate. Legg til Brickspattern fra listen over modifiers. Pluginen leser Uv-kanalen og opdeler straks overfladen i murstenslayoutet.

02

2. Adjust parameters

Skift mønstertype, murstensmål, fugebredde og fugedybde. Legg til variation i højde og størrelse per element med seed-indstillingerne. Alle endringer er ikke-destruktive, mens modifier-stakken er aktiv.

03

3. Tildel materialer og render

Anvend et Multi/Sub-object-materiale med de automatisk tildelte Material ID’er. Render med V-ray, Corona, Arnold eller en annen renderer. Den egte geometri gir korrekte skygger og AO uten baking.
