Best way to texture an stone arch way?

esphii

I'm new to 3D and texturing and recently started using maya, substance designer and painter. So what would be the best way to make this kind of thing?

Is each brick modeled and sculpted? Or is it a simple low poly arch and the height map is doing all the work?

Model out a few high poly bricks using turbosmooth and displacement to get the macro details, maybe a little brush work but still just focusing on large details, major surface planes.

Arrange them using bend modifiers and maybe a little push brush.

Make a contiguous low poly mesh, unwrap it, take them both into substance painter, bake and paint textures, profit.

Thanks! I'll try that
