Any advice on how to render arched brick headers?

Hello, 

 

I am new to 3Ds Max and trying to set up the material properties for the arched headers, I want them to match the corona red brick so created scaled images to use as bitmaps (attached). However when I put them into the material editor, they warp and I can't get them to work. 

 

I have tried a UVM map modifier with little success.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Imho it is better to use different pattern for arch - not alternating 1/2 bricks, but a row of same sized bricks.

 

As for it displaying wrong when applied to your wall - you need to adjust UVs. Check max help or youtube some videos on UnwrapUVW/unwrapping.
