Hmmmm. <Thinking....> I'm not sure. Don't think so though.
In my current scene I'm using my uneven floor macro to create
two sidewalks. One is 15 units by 15 units and one is a couple of hundred.
They both parse almost instantaneously.
I have no idea how to create a texture for what you want. I tend to use
objects to create paved floors and walls as I have better control. That or a
height field.
btw. My current scene has 5000 objects (four walls, two sections of paved
floor and
a distant city) Parse time 1 minute, render 3 minutes.
If you would like to try a macro, I'll write one up when I get bored at
work.

Yeah, the mortar's a little thick in spots. Side-effect of the
method, I'm afraid, for which I have no easy solution. But it's
not all that implausible for paving stones to have varying mortar
thickness.

A strenuous activity designed to prevent one from becoming a computer chair
potato. Also encourages making friends who don't know the meaning of
max_trace_level and bezier patches. Useful for releaving the urges to
decapitate the boss when overtime interfears with rendering time.
(In case you're wondering what sport, I practice Aikido)

Your post made me think that incase I ever need to go out of the house
I need to have some way of knowing if my render has finished so that
I can come back inside sharply.
Currently looking for a phone dialer (and hopefully something that
can send text messages to my mobile phone) so that my machine can
tell me when it's ready for some more punishment.

I am currently working on a set of Perl scripts which will make a web
page out of POV output, converting tgas to jpeg, anims to mpeg,
generating previews etc. It will be based on perl, cjpeg and cmpeg,
and all these are available for Windows as well so it might turn out
to be useful if/when it is done.
