  "brick"

A very useful kind of texture for brick in a "Central European Standard Format"
(Scale: 1 unit = 1m) is i.e. the following:


Sample brick 640x480 

texture{
     pigment{ brick
              color White
              color rgb<0.8,0.25,0.1>
              // color mortar, color brick
              brick_size <0.25, 0.0525, 0.125 >
              // format in x-,y-,z- direction
              mortar 0.01 // size of the mortar
            }
     normal { wrinkles 0.75 scale 0.01}
     finish { diffuse 0.9 phong 0.2}
     } // end of texture

All these patterns can be used instead of "color" also with "pigment" like Jade, White_Marble and also with textures like Polished_Chrome etc. :
Sample:

 

texture{ pigment { brick
                   pigment{Jade},
                   pigment{White_Marble}
                 }// end of pigment
         finish  { diffuse 0.9 }
        }// end of texture -------------------
