I'm making a house of lego bricks, and the cracks between the bricks are not visible. I tried to make it piece by piece.. but still the cracks are not visible.. any ideas?

All you need is to put yer texture in photoshop and draw a thin line of darker color at the bottom of the texture, then align your texture bottom with brick bottom
same for sides

But what about scrapes and rust on metal. That's not modeled. Razz

How would you model scratches and all that anyway?
