Colorful patterns

[cadedu22]

Greetings,

Is there a way to make colorful patterns like this? (Bricks has different colors)

@cadedu22 

Easy way is to use an iamge of the colored tiles in the material appearance 

However, if you want that to actually randomizes color/material or a tile patter (ie: the tiles are modeled as a pattern based componant, a curtan wall element or an adaptive componant), you will need either an addin or  dynamo

*I can do it also with filled regions, but they are not visible in 3d.

Also wanted them to be shown in 3d view?

What's the easiest method for doing it?

[RDAOU · Accepted solution]

Easiest would be to use an image in the material appearance (either for the whole wall or partially painted on it)

For only those few tiles? Im not sure!! ... split face then paint with various material? or add a few extrusions with different material

[cadedu22]

Will try extrusions for this, since it's only part of the wall.

Thanks./

You can use curtainwall to create your brick and then use dynamo to randomized the pattern. Check this video to see how can create quick randomized color facade.

If the pattern is random then you could create a material with procedural tile and assign a color variation.

How 'bout a Peterbilt instead?

I was trying it, kinda complex needs some skills and experience.

Not much tutorials about "procedural tile" are available, I suppose it's something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5iYcFE5NNg). Actually this method works great on walls, and is very flexible, you can chose color for every spot with material.

No clue what's "Peterbilt" is? That's some kinda addon? (Cars is the only thing about Peterbilt what I could find in Revit 😀)

That is Dividing parts...You can do the same with split surface and paint without converting to parts...

Procedural Material is more about the material asset than it is about how you model the tile ... YOu can go on youtube and search for Procedural Material you will find quite a few tutorials

I was clowning around with you. Peterbilt is the Partridge Family bus, Who? Never mind. Probably before your time.  

The larger point was that you can use Materials to make "colorful patterns".  

For example: colorful pattern "painted" over the bricks of a building:
