how to make terracotta cladding

Anonymous
Not applicable
Maybe there's aready something around, but since I'm new to AC, which is the best way to make terracotta cladding (like the one used by NBK, Renzo Piano etc?) for exteriors walls?
I'm thinking about making a new wall finishing, but can be also a modular element (more complex, I think).

Any indication? Thanks.

When it's all about 3D visualization I can post some textures in the GDL Object Depository. If you want '2D representation' as well (elevations f.e.) then you'll need modular elements...

Just let me know

Instead of mapping a picture, why not try making this with the LightWorks Shaders directly?

The pattern and color can be input directly. See attached

Dwight,


I agree.
I also think new AC users will find the use of textures more comprehensive to start with...
This way you get the textures in OpenGL as well, very attractive - SketchUP like 🙂

Have you checked out Cadimage Tools Accessories' wall cladding? Maybe that will work for you...
