Procedural Brick Texture

[rvr1982]

Hello,

I have to texture an interior scene of a church, and I'm much more comfortable with procedural textures than with painted ones.

I've been searching around for some times now, but still havn't found a solution. So i'm wondering if anyone here has found a way to create a procedural brick texture. Maya2008 does not seem to have any preset shader for that.

Are there downloadable presets for this ? Or is it possible to transform a grid-texture or a cloth-texture into a more bricklike procedural texture ?

Thanks for helping me out,

Preset would indicate one node would do it.

Sure.

Anyway do you plan to render in maya software or mentalray?

I'm planing to render my scene with mental ray.

I found a solution...
It was way easier than i thought :s

here's a picture, in case someone is stuck with the same problem...

(one horizontal ramp without interpolations. the joint color is black. the brick color is filled with two same kind of ramps, but this time vertical ones)
