      Hello all,

      At the moment I am trying to model some old Dutch fortification building.
      It is amazing how skilled they where with the use of masonry.
      So I have a challenge I can't solve : to get the stone texture curved above windows and doors.
      Please look at the picture as an example. It is the curved row of stones above the door I mean.

      Does anybody have a idea how to solve this other then drawing every stone separate ?

      The model looks like this at the moment:

          Thank you for the fast answer.
          But I ran into another issue: I can't download the shown plugins.
          I get to the plugin store I see the plugin, I hit the "log in to get it" and nothing happends. Where do I have to log in again ?

            Besides Thrupaint (see link by Massimo), quad face tools (Thomthom) or SketchUV (Whaat) would work here too.

              There should be a popup window for the login, maybe it's getting blocked?

                So these links are not working for you?

                  Thank you all.
                  Yes downloading is working now. For some ereason between reading here and opening the link I was logged off, that is why it said log in, what I didn't understand since I was logged in, as far as I knew.
                  But it worked.
                  Now I will try installing and working with them.

                        I just drew an arch and then tried to paint it with bricks using Thru Paint. I understand how to scale the brick but I could not figure out how to make it follow the contour of the arch. Can someone enlighten me or point me to some documentation/tutorial that I can follow?

                        Making me feel kind of silly ❓

                            😳 I did not - installed the plugins and it all worked just fine.
