      Hello,

      1.i'm trying to put some hedges of bricks on a rounded window! i really don't know how to do 😞 if someone have a good metod, tell me please!

      2.For photorealism i have to see the edge of top roof tile and side roof tile but i d'ont know how to do it(for saving time)
      For the moment top roof and side roof tile looks like flat edges (it's normal, it's only a texture!). for the top roof tile it's ok, i just modeled a top roof tile and reapeat it...

      BUT! the edge roof tiles are more difficult... The ideal solution is to model each tile like in reality but it's time consuming and when i want to change texture i have to redo ALL the roof 😡 And finaly i'm only interested in viewing side of my roof like a "stairs" for the final render.

      I don't know if i was able to explain my problem correctly with my poor english...

          Thanks for your answer! but how to do when my surface is allready in form? i can't bend a surface to match the curve perfectly arround my door!

          finally i divided my line of rounded bricks and rotated each brick texture one by one 😕

          here is the result...

            You could also use shape bender which is better to curve around already existing curves.

            Well, that's also a solution - and I have often done that myself so don't worry. They look nice now! 👍
