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

Så här passar BricksPattern ind i en archviz-arbetsflöde.

Tilföj modifieren, välj ett mönster, och ange elementmål och fugedybde — meshen uppdateras i realtid. BricksPattern kan stables med andra modifiers eller kollapses till en statisk mesh, när geometrin är färdig.

01

1. Använd på varje mesh

Välj ett plan, ett vägsegment eller en buet yta. Tilföj BricksPattern från listan över modifiers. Plugin-programmet läser UV-kanalen och opdeler direkt overfladen i murstenslayoutet.

02

2. Adjust parameters

Byt mönstertype, murstensmål, fogbredd och fugedybde. Tilföj variation i höjde och störrelse pr. element med seed-indstillingerne. Alla ändringer är inte-destruktive, medan modifier-stakken är aktiv.

03

3. Tilldela material och render

Använd ett Multi/Sub-Object-material med de automatisk tilldelade Material ID’är. Render med V-Ray, Corona, Arnold eller en annan renderer. Den ägte geometri ger korrekta skygger och AO utan baking.
