Hello every one,
I have a question and I am hoping someone is familiar with the solution.
I have a curved surface which is made up of 8 large poly's, nothing special, it is just a curved surface so to speak.

What I would like to do is build a brick wall and have it take the shape of the curved wall.

I have used plugings that match a background curve, but seeing how this is a background surface, I was wondering if there is a plug in to be had.
Thanks in advance

You can pick points and create a spline t hen create additional splines so that you can spline patch the wall.
You can also use the splineguide tool to try and bend the wall to match a curve.
Pictrix has a free plugin called C-Blend that works well.

Thanks Larry, I have C-Bend already I guess I could use it, in the fashion you suggest, I was just thinking there was a way to do it less manually.
Thanks for the info :D
