Technical Details

Asset Type: Geometry Nodes Asset

Usage

Select your MESH target object, use the Apply to Mesh button in the Addon panel to add this asset to your scene.

UVs
The effect applies a default material called "sl_brick_transform" with a white color, but the important part is that this material has an attribute that replicates the original object's UVs.

If you go to the Shading tab and select the "sl_brick_transform" material you will see a node with the label "UV Map" on it, if you use this node's vector output on an Image texture you will have the original objects UVs. To edit this UV's you can simply edit the original objects UVs as usual and the bricks will replicate the changes.
