Nice ! Another useful pattern would be the typical Parisian street pattern.

Notice how the stones are all loose and ready to be picked up for rioting,
btw ;-)

Wow, very useful, and very timely. I'll be immediately appropriating it
(with proper attribution, of course!) in one of my scenes.
Thanks!

Thank you!
I posted it just for that reason. Otherwise, I would have kept it to my
selfish self! ;-)

Yes!!! You did it! I have been thinking (of and on) on this but had not
found the time to do it. So... How did 'you' do it?

To much honor, really! I am a simple POVer without particular skills. :-}
Hmm... Alternatively, I have used image maps of cobblestoned surfaces, of
course, on a HF (or isosurface) to simulate just that, and it renders pretty
fast. For backgrounds that is fine (even for foregrounds sometimes). But the
real thing is better in the foreground. You could combine those then...

Thanks! Yes, I have been thinking along that line (not rioting, for the time
being, at least!) and would like to do it. Have to think about how to do
this...

Hmm... The problem here is that the pattern 'desintegrates' towards the
boundary of each arc. In reality, the last stone of a given arc is the first
stone of the adjacent one, like uou can see in the photograph refered to by
Gilles Tran.
In itself, this seems easy to model (I tested something in Moray today), but
I came up against a fundamental difficulty that concerns the different
curvatures of the inside and outside of each arc of stones. At the ends, the
stones overlap! (>> see the attached image) and adjacent arcs are not well
integrated.
