Brick house

[Ted 0]

Hi everyone (that's my first post in here)

I'm trying to make a house made of bricks but I don't know how to manage the corners (my poooor brain is trying to figure it out since the beginning of the month)

I succeed in creating a brick wall (by the way I'm not sure this is the most academic/efficient way to do it so if you have any suggestion it would be a pleasure - see Capture.png ) but not the corners.

I don't want to "simply" use a copy node I need the shape to be procedural pleaaaase.

this is exactly what I wanted thank you so muuuuuch!!!!!

Can you pleeeeaase just explain to me what exactly does the line "neighbourcount(0,@ptnum)==8" ? I'm reading the sideFX documentation but I didn't know about this function before

[konstantin magnus 804]

The neighbourcount function returns the number of points a given point (in this case @ptnum) is connected to. If it matches 8 it's grouping the diagonal crossing points.
