Surface Design by "texture"

brick

A very useful kind of texture for bricks in a "Central European Standard Format" (Scale: 1 unit = 1m) is i.e. the following:


texture{pigment{brick color White
                      color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1>
                       // color mortar, color brick
                brick_size <0.25, 0.0525, 0.125 >
                // format in x-,y-,z- direction
                mortar 0.01 // size of the mortar
               }
        normal {wrinkles 0.75 scale 0.01}
        finish {ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.9 phong 0.2}
        }// end of texture

All these patterns can be used instead of "color" also with "pigment" like Jade, White_Marble and also with textures like Polished_Chrome etc. :
Sample:


texture{ pigment { brick
                   pigment{Jade},
                   pigment{White_Marble}
                 }// end of pigment
         finish  { ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.9 }
        }// end of texture -----------------
