Ideas on how to model this bridge?
Picture related I want to make this scene but I wanted to ask what you guys think the best way to approach the bridge and wall would be. Should I just make a blockout and take it to zbrush and just use sorta sculpt it from there or should I make like 10-20 single bricks, sculpt those and them assemble them by hand to form… -

Yea tiling with unique pieces on the top and bottom and also plug in some along the tiling texture to have pieces sticking out. -

Re: Ideas on how to model this bridge?
Depends on how much mesh detail you want and your other restrictions. If you put that detail into a texture, then you could just do a tiling texture for the "wall" parts.
