In this shader tutorial for Unreal and Unity, I show how to distort the UVs in our procedural brick pattern so it looks more natural and organic. We use procedural gradient noise to subtly shift our UVs so the bricks have some more interesting shapes and aren't perfectly square.

Here's the playlist for the set of procedural brick videos:
