Is there any way to set a material cross hatch? So a brick wall actually looks like brick.

Hi @Keo Welcome to the Forum.  
You will need to Import a suitable Image and place it on an appropriate Body:

Alternatively you could create a ‘Brick’, optionally adding some Mortar, and then Transform \> Move/Copy until you have a course of bricks and then copy these to subsequent courses adjusting the end bricks to get the desired appearance.
