Creating wall and tile materials was never easier. WALLS & TILES is a very easy-to-use 3ds max material that creates procedural walls and floors based on multiple single bitmaps. The auto-loader loads bitmaps from a folder into the corresponding layers for bump, diffuse, reflection and displacement, without the need to manually load every single bitmap by hand. Once loaded, you can select one of 16 bond patterns, set the size, randomize position, color and surface, and you are ready to go. The Real-World mapping mode simplifies the use of wall textures in scenes by eliminating the need for individual uv-mapping per object. If you want to create bond patterns with a repeating pattern, just use the Linear Sequence instead of randomized distribution. For more information, please take a look at the reference guide.

WALLS & TILES is a 3Ds Max scripted plugin with two additional shader map plugins: Crossmap from VIZPARK and BerconTile from Jerry Ylilammi. The script extends a vray / standard material with a gui and remote functions to adjust the containing maps BerconTile and Crossmap in multiple layers. This way, it´s very easy to create, adjust and change materials on the fly.
THREE SIMPLE STEPS
1
Auto-Load multiple images
The auto-load function loads multiple images from a specific folder into the corresponding layers for bump, reflection, displacement and diffuse. You can even predefine the filter-settings to which layer each bitmap should be loaded.
2
Select bond pattern
You can choose from 16 bond patterns for walls and floors or create your own custom bond patterns (New in v1.1) to fit your needs.
3
Adjust and render
Depending on your needs, you can adjust the layers intensities in the vray / standard material and further randomize position, color and surface.

The new feature to have custom grout patterns really helps for my renderings!
