How to: Create tile bricks with varied width/size

Question

Hello community,
I feel a tad silly for asking this, but I just can't seem to figure it out and cannot find an answer online (likely due to bad search terms).

I am wanting to creating tiling patterns, say a brick pattern, that uses different sized inputs in the width, but does not leave any space in the pattern, see attached example. I do not wish them to be completely 'random' as I'd like to input custom sized pieces.

Running custom shapes through the tile sampler will leave a gap between the shapes, as expected I believe if I am understanding how its handling inputs.

Thank you for any help and advice.

Hello @Nico_3D,

For a brick pattern, the easiest answer is probably to use a Tile Random 2 node and turn down the Random Y to 0.

Alternatively, you could use a Tile Generator and edit its Horizontal middle size parameter and its Offset parameter.

The Tile Generator has the advantage of taking custom inputs where the Tile Random 2 don't.

Regards,
