Procedural Circular Paving

[martin walker]

Guys, anyone help me on this.

 

Is there a way of creating a procedural texture as show in the attachment. If not anyone have a nice hi - res texture I can crib ...looked high and low on the web cant see anything

 

thanks in advance !

i wondered this also..... how about working with a blend type material, you could then just create a hi res alpha channel to define the layout of the blocks etc and use procedural textures underneath to create the material colours / textures.

 

its not quite 100% procedural, but from a quick idea i think there is good potential???? Probably need a no. of layers to achieve a hi quality final material

Thanks James,

 

Ive sort of "given up" on the procedural and just modelled it using single blocks face mapped to individual polys with a bit of bump

 

not very eloquent...but it seems to do the job

[JamesTaylor]

well there always that way of doing it too!! it can quite often just be quicker to model something... bit of a pain tho if its something you'll have to do time and time again

fortunatley its a one off !
