Very cunning. I wouldn't have thought of doing it that way.

I wrote some macros to make meshes from simple shapes and then erode them using
pigments - this helps a lot if your shape can't be easily represented by
isosurfaces. They're in the object collection - meshrelief.inc. Might be of use
for the bricks, at least.
