Randomising Brick Patterns

Hi,

I create a lot of seamless textures of various bricks for 3D CAD rendering. To date, I have opened a photoshop file in AI (with layers as objects) and have been manually rearranging the bricks under a pre-created guide.

Is it possible to arange many bricks and be able to randomise it? Or somehow create a brush, or altenative that lays them out automatically?

Thanks in advance.

Louis.

Is every brick a separate image?

Hi,

Yes. They are photoshop layers opened as individual elements in AI.

If the individual elements have the size of a single brick (instead of the size of a layer) you can make each into a pattern swatch and use a random swatches fill script to create a wall.

Can you share your sample Illustrator file?

Hi,

Thanks for coming back. I do, but the file is too large to share here?
