Here's an arched bridge that I'd like to create in T2:

http://www.bogadocious.com/temp/ArchedBridge.jpgI was going to use brushes to build it, but cannot find a suitable texture that can give me that arched "fan" of bricks. If I build it in Anim8or, I sort of have the same problem, unless someone knows how to bend a texture with the arch.
The bridge will probably have 3 or 4 arches and will accommodate a train rail. What would be the best approach?

In Anim8or you can use a Bend modifier. Create a tall cuboid with many horizontal subdivisions (you can set these when you initially make the cuboid). Apply a block texture so you get one block per subdivison, then create a modifier, set the mode to Bend and the angle to 180. Position so its bottom lines up with the bottom of the cuboid. Use the Scale tool to resize it until the whole thing bends. Use Edit > Scale > Scale custom to scale to more than 2dp.

I'll try that. I've used the bend mod tool before. Sort of clumsy, but it gets the job done.
