Brick Width

The ratio of brick’s width relative to the texture scale.

Row Height

The ratio of brick’s row height relative to the texture scale.

Properties

Offset

Determines the brick offset of the various rows.

Frequency

How often rows are offset; a value of 2 gives an even/uneven pattern of rows.

Squash

Factor to adjust the brick’s width for particular rows determined by the Frequency

Frequency

How often rows consist of “squished” bricks.

Outputs

Color

Texture color output.

Factor

Mortar mask (1 = mortar).
