Hi, I'm after help from any good soul.

I want to texture a roof.  The roof is a pyramid (prisim).  I've been able
to use brick on the straight roofs but when I apply the same texture to the
pyramid, the texture looks rubbish on two of the faces.

Does anyone have a good idea on how to texture the pyramid to look like roof
tiles from all angles.

Thanks

Josh,

Try putting this inside the pigment and/or normal statement:

rotate y*45
warp{repeat x*1000 flip x}
warp{repeat z*1000 flip z}
rotate y*-45

That's assuming your pyramid's sides are facing directly North, East, South and West.
