for those using Blender 4, the Surface Displacement settings are located in the options panel (press N whilst in the Shader Editor) and they are listed under Settings>Surface. They are also in the Settings of the material properties in the drop down menu *beneath* the displacement settings.

This somewhat worked for Eevee. I know or think- that Displacement Maps don't work with Eevee, so I skipped those nodes. They look quite flat without them but they are still quite good looking, so thank you for sharing this!

​@@patrickrogers5025thanks soooo much! I thought I did something wrong for a minute

[@cheyenneisdrawing]

Don't know if this will help anyone but, I did this tutorial to a set I'm making for a short. And I ran into the problem of my bricks only showing horizontally on one side of my mesh. As I was making stage wall texture. I recreated the tutorial on two separate textures and assigned them to each wall seperatly. Then for the wall that was only showing bricks horizontally, I went to the rotation on the Mapping node which is connected to the Brick Texture node. In addition to rotating the X rotation to 90 degrees I also rotated the Y rotation to 90 degrees and the texture worked perfectly.

[@NilsLeideck]

At 4:50 you say "whatever you like". Do you have any advice how to correctly scale the brick texture to match for example 60x60cm tiles? I have played around with Texel Density (great addon) and other tricks and tutorials, but ALWAYS ended up using the measuring tool for hours (literally) to get close to the correct size. I assumed that if you set the scale to 1 and the brick size to 0.6 it would match to 60cm as Blender unit is 1 meter ... but it does not. Thanks for any pro advice! -- Cheers, Nils

[@SquirreltailAnimation]

Thank you so much for not just this video, but this entire series. They are all so useful for the work I do! As weird as this sounds, I used this tutorial to make fishnet stockings for a model. However, if you don't mind, I have two questions for you: 1) Do you know of a way to apply a subsurface color to just the bricks part of the texture (say, make the bricks have a subsurface color of red but have the grout have no subsurface color). 2) Is there a way to apply a separate normal map to the bricks and the grout? So, as an example, have the bricks have a bit rougher of a normal than the grout. I thought making the bricks shader first then applying it via a "Shader to RGB" node to the brick texture would do the trick, but the subsurface color doesn't really show up and it messes up the shadows (as in makes them completely black). Any help with this would be appreciated. If not, thank you anyway and have a great day!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! Yes, these can both totally be done. For the subsurface, you can plug the brick texture factor, into the subsurface on the principled. You will also need to add an invert node to switch the values, so that the bricks have the subsurf. Then either add a texture in the the subsurface color, or just change the color value. For the normal, you can use the brick factor, as a mask, to make different parts have different normal maps. For instance, you could add a noise texture, and plug it into the color 2, of a mix rgb node. set the mix RGB to lighten, and make color 1 fully black. Then add the brick texture factor into the factor the the mix rgb. then plug the mix rgb color into a bump node height value, and finally, plug that into the normal. hope this helps.

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. I downloaded the file from Gumroad and applied the Procedural bricks to my own wall (cube) and I noticed that two of the sides show the bricks correctly but the other faces just show the brick rows stretched horizontal and there are no vertical mortar lines. This is in Blender 2.93. Any ideas how I would make all the sides of the cube faces look correct? You can see the same thing happening at 8.32 on your KZbin movie on the sides of your wall and if the wall was any deeper (going back) those edge bricks just stretch. I'd need to somehow apply the Procedural bricks material to each of the individual faces to make it look correct but that can't be done. Thanks, Andrew

I'm getting no change after adding bump node. It shows a very little difference but changing distance or strength has no effect. Displacement Node has no effect. I started using a rectangular wall and figured it was me, re ran a new job using the sphere following along everything, same issue. I just loaded 2.93.6, don't know if that is it or not but it ground to a halt at that point. Reran the tutorial a third time, same issue.I threw the Invert Node in and it did effect the mortar but really bad quality, real choppy. Maybe it's this build so, just a few days away from 3.0, I'll try it again then. I have 32 gig memory, i7, two GTX 1080 Ti cards in SLI so, plenty of machine. I tried it in one of Simon Thommes brick tutorials and in the first five nodes idisplacement didn't work. Pretty sure it is aa bug in this build as that's two approaches that wouldn't give the displacement. Oh well, let's see what 3.0 does.

The texture looks good on certain walls but gets stretched out on the walls that are perpendicular to the good looking walls.

[@path11media88]

This is great and I followed along but, when I put this into practice I have a problem. Walls on a building step in and out, turning corners and, the inside does not have brick texture. When I use this node on a wall, even though I pick specific faces, the procedural texture goes on every wall and is elongated on some as stripes. I have tried "cube projection but, that has no effect at all (I'm trying on version 3.0). I've tried unwrapping, marking seams, selecting individual faces, etc, and nothing seems to stop the procedural shader from applying itself to everything and those faces that are ninety degrees from a correctly laid out grid become stripes of brich and mortar stretched.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, I should have gone over how to fix that in the tutorial. There is a node setup to fix this issue. I might make a video about it soon.

[@path11media88]

@@RyanKingArt There may be some quirks to work out on 3.0 (there is on any new version of any software). I would run it and have it do one thing, strip it all back and run again and get it to work. The thing that worked best was to first apply a generic texture, I just used a white color, then when you specify the faces to be brick it only applies to those, That also seemed to trigger the "cube projection" to line up the rows.

8:24 i don't see adaptive subvision in my subdivision modifier

[@jenkathefridge3933]

you have to be using experimental for it to happen but im making a house so I shouldn't bother with subdivision modifier

[@RyanKingArt]

yeah if your not super close to it then you don't really need to use the displacements.

[@michaelpenco546]

What I would like seeing in future is correcting the problem of not being able to see the material in assets manager. The ptocedural bricks was not textured.and defeats the purpose of the manager.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the feedback.

[@Noel_FGC]

i froze trying to render this lmao

[@RyanKingArt]

oh, sorry.

[@MightyElemental]

Very useful, but I have no clue why the bricks won't pop out.

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh, hmm, did you make sure to turn on all of the displacement settings that I showed in the tutorial?

[@wilko2912]

I think I ran into the same problem, check you added a 'subdivision surface' not just a 'subdivision' modifier.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@wilko2912 Thanks!

It must be an American thing but the word height does not have an h on the end. It is height, not heighth

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh, did I spell it wrong? Or is it spelled wrong in Blender?

[@GreenHero-sm6kf]

omg my computer its wil=💥💥💥

[@RyanKingArt]

oh sorry

@@RyanKingArt no problem XD but its will die

[@ParaLizzard]

Doesnt work no more!

[@RyanKingArt]

what part isn't working?

[@ParaLizzard]

@@RyanKingArt I didnt do subdivision surface because of door cutout deformation in wall which I wasnt able to fix but I tried an object without the cutout and it didnt have any effect. My UV map is 2048px. I set the same settings in Principled BSDF as you instead of default. Other people in cobblestone video also have the same problem in blender 4.0 by comments

Nodes are quite possibly the least intuitive and most convoluted form of modeling Ever invented. You not only have to remember the name and full features of every node but also remember where that node plugs into another node. Then remember which sliders on each node controls which parameters. Multiply this process over a dozen different nodes, two dozen different connection points and six dozen different sliders and congratulations, you have a brick wall. lol At the very least Blender should have a small library of node setups for basic textures. Example: Load the brick wall node setup from the library, adjust the parameters as needed and you're done. It's just confusing to invert the mortar on the bump map only to add yet another node later in the proces to invert the mortar.

Hello Ryan. I am using Blender 3.5 and this brick texture is not seamless in my file. Do you have any idea why? You can see in the screenshot below. Thanks. drive.google.com/file/d/14T6KbjGBsxL5Aw0jiwqAsbCEtB5dMsbQ/view?usp=sharing
