- In this video, we're making a brick wall! Sound easy? Well, we are going to take it up a notch and dive into how to create this model using the texture of a real brick wall. Tune in for some tips!

Very nice. Looks good and the model is not "heavy". Very important consideration. Thank you!
Oh Aaron! You are back! Glad to see you alive and healthy. Even despite the radical change in hairstyles! :)
Super!
I will be using this in the future.
I'm geekin' out on "Face-Me" plants right now and so I won't get to it today, but I will def put this in my SU playlist!
☺️👍☕🥐
Consistently great vids. To the point and great delivery.
Thanks Aaron. Between this and the randomizer extension you showed us, I would have been able to do a custom arabesque backsplash in 3 colors much faster. Any tips for doing tile in kitchens and bathrooms would get my vote for a future tutorial. I was trying to make an embossed tile to render in V-Ray the other day and just failed miserably. So add to the list editing V-Ray materials for color and texture placement and bump maps would be wonderful!
Ah, I've done this before. I just draw the bricks freehand, copy paste them until I have a complete wall, then color the bricks with a modified concrete texture.
Aaron, love this -it has helped me with several custom shower spaces the had unique tile patterns and niches. What drove me crazy tho, was "cutting" the tile at corners and to fit the niches. Could you please explain how you would go about doing this? Had the same issue with lattice that needed to be "cut" at an angle to run along some deck stairs. I tried using the solid tool, but ran into the problem of non-solid objects. Would love to see a video on this :)
Thanks. That's really useful!
Good idea 👍
Nice idea aaron
Thank you
Great video-thank you very much.
Excellent tutorial many thanks
It looks nice. This way of working is ok if you have 48 hrs in a day. Making a displacement map is way faster and does do the trick too exept for the shadows. But when is your camera so close to notice the (lack of) shadows?
I just put the mortar in the brick component,, bottom and 1 side... turn off edges in them,, as the brick defines the mortar... and just make some of the bricks unique to account for detail variations... eg end conditions... great for playing around with different brick detailing and coursing patterns.. also a great tool for brick dimensional setout of buildings
very good tips!
when you scaled the bricks down in green axis, the dimension of the bricks in red and blue axis are shrink too. This make the mortar looks wider than half an inch. I think because the bricks are components, better to push pull it rather than scale.
Brilliant
That's neat, more realistic brick wall. However, I'd explore it a bit further and show the corner detail of two perpendicular walls, with the bricks interlocking; something we can't do by just applying textures. Cori
sick video! I got some sweet ideas for house designs, wondering how easy it is to attach a 3D modeled house on a website that you can interact with and rotate? also, this would be for personal use, does anyone know what version is the best for this? in terms of shop version or pro version.
Would be good to compare drawing stats, faces, geometry at various stages of the build (similar to what you did with Poly Annie drawing)
How did you do the quick 'sample' (4.20) as I can only take a sample but then lose it when I move to the push tool?
Call me inefficient if you will, but in my personal opinion, it will always be better to make these kind of textures yourself (like shown in this video), instead downloading some sort of HD image or texture that won't cast a shadow.
Also, it's important to note those bricks are "too perfect", with the greeble skethcup extension you could give just a liiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit of bumpiness to each brick and thet would make them look a bit more realistic, even with the default texture. If you're making a 3d model that will be rendered later on, this can help you out achieve that "illussion" of reality within your renders.
As a final note, the job Aaron does here is truly important because these are foundations of 3d modelling in Sketchup. Sure, there's blender, 3d max, solidworks out there, but, if you're into the architecture business, a perfect sketchup file can even compete against a 3D max or blender file, because adding those small details and overall improving your workflow is easier and faster on sketchup; with the right extensions of course, check other channels you're on youtube already, search for the Sketchup Essentials channel to get you started.
Keep in mind, 3D Max is just a brand, Blender is a fad, knowing how to use them doesn't mean you're good at 3D Modelling, neither knowing to use sketchup does, all of these tools do the same job and only your discipline will show the best of each program. All these programs are as good as the person using them. Keep improving on your skills, and if you're already into Skethchup invest in it, learn how to use the extensions at Sketchucation.com, develop your skills and they'll speak for you.
What about adding the mortar joint to the top side and say right side of a single brick before copying? On long side and one short side, would that increase the geometry more so than your method? I’m asking cause it’s the way I make brick.
That would be a great addition!
Excellent.
How do you pan and zoom around so seamlessly? Do you use another hardware or something?
I use a 3d mouse from 3dconnexion in my videos.
Bricks and mortar is one of those things where you probably just have to fake it like this. You can actually buy real "fake" bricks like these and glue them on a wall. As he says, you'll make so much geometry otherwise, with little real benefit. Some randomization option would be neat though, to avoid obvious repetition patterns easily.
the end of the brick could have been referenced to the middle of another brick without drawing the temp line
I'm seeing your video and I am about to embark on a brick stoop with steps. Would Google SketchUp be able to input brick dimensions and show three-dimensional view of where h brick goes and mortar joint thickness?
Just to address this first, Google has not owned SketchUp for over a decade, now. Trimble SketchUp will allow you to model to whatever detail you want. Remember, SketchUp is a 3D modeling tool, not a specific brick layout tool. YOu can model whatever you like in SketchUp, but will need to learn the basics, regardless of your model type!
@@SketchUp THanks, would the "free" sketchup address my needs, or would I have to go paid?
Is that color pallet only available on mac?
That is the system color picker for Mac.
Your materials interface looks different. I can't find the option to sample the color of the brick texture.
Edit: But then, with your solution, we don't get actual bricks do we? :D
Too true! I am showing the color yo on Mac... Windows is slightly different
Textures.com for a great selection of textures.
It's so crazy the official Sketchup channel has the less skilled people on Sketchup I ever saw.
