Seamless brick textures and bonds

Prepare brick length, height, joints and bond together. A single unit is not the full repeat area; staggered bonds need a complete repeat cycle.

Illustrative design study, not a manufacturer catalogue.

Joints belong to the repeat

A 215 mm unit and 10 mm joint give a 225 mm pitch in a simple straight row. A full Flemish repeat also depends on the arrangement of headers and stretchers.

Inspect the bond at its destination

Check close-up boundaries and colour repetition across a larger elevation. CAD hatches and textures should use the same unit and joint settings.

Questions

Which brick bonds can I make?

Running bond, stack bond, Flemish bond, 1/3 and 1/4 staggers, basketweave, herringbone and a random bond. Rows and columns step in whole bond cycles, so the texture repeats without a seam.

Are these textures free?

The photographed and scanned surfaces come from ambientCG and Poly Haven under CC0. Editing and previewing are free. Free has every feature and all four plug-ins, with no watermark, and makes 10 new materials a month; Pro has no limit and downloads maps at 4K. Downloading a material you have made again does not count.

Can I use the same material in Revit and SketchUp?

“Create and save” keeps the material in your library with a Revit fill pattern (.PAT, model or drafting) drawn from the same module and joint, and the SketchUp, Revit, 3ds Max and Blender plug-ins apply it at its real size.
