@HappyS0ngss
I'm using a lot of nodes 😅
There are three main node groups applied as modifiers:
1. Create flat geometry from a mask
2. Apply "chipping" and surfacing to the flat bricks
(decimate modifiers)
3. Expand and extrude bricks
Hope that helps — I'll post more as I tidy things up 👍

Check out this incredible work by
@AlbusVertex
— It's been so amazing seeing people take the idea and run with it 🥹
Inspired by the recent work of
@SpaghetMeN0t
here is my version. I trace the texture onto a 3D plane surface. Then, I use another surface to project the flat mesh onto it. Same idea as the « detail mesh » from Houdini’s game dev tools presented by
@ambrosiussen_p
few years ago.

I added a simple node to the upcoming uvProject update to copy one UV map to another...

Cylinder/tube island detection using geometry nodes 🧪

Huge thanks to

I'll get around to finishing this project one of these days (or years). I keep going back and forth on if I want to animate/render/etc in UE5 or keep it all in Blender.
There's a pretty even pros and cons list for both so I'm torn 🙃

Thanks for the question! This went few a few iterations but I'm currently doing the following:

2. Convert boundaries to curves
3. Resample curves
(optional smooth)
4. Scatter lots of curve points
5. Fill curves

I tried booleans at first but it was slow... My current method is starting with enough geometry to represent the facets and doing it with displacement. I'm applying X and Y "cuts" to bricks based on their mesh island bounding box and some randomness. Then it's decimated 👍
