Brick wall procedurally (circular and flat)

[anicg]

Any idea how I can add procedurally a brick wall structure to this circular watchtower?

Do you want to fill it with boxes or do you want to use a displacement shader?

Here is a rough sketch for the box version.

Here is another way of how to setup a cylindrical tube grid you can use for copying.

Here is lazy procedural approach. Slice by planes into rows, resample cross-sections by approximate brick length and turn pscales on. Copy bricks to points and finally make use of new boolean. Shatter mode will give you mortar, I used another method, to allow later remeshing. Try to randomize cross-sections a bit, so, it won't resample into almost same curves (brickwork won't look lame).
