(click picture to enlarge) I made the formations 2-sided so I could turn them around and use them again elsewhere in the same scene. Anyway, I applied a slightly tweaked Gray Granite preset mat to them and then applied various Enhance C filters in the displacement channel, and then Viola!  Another thing that is really cool is taking several very-low poly "rocks", applying displacement and then using them in the surface replicator. I used thousands of 'em and Carrara doesn't even blink! Can you tell I love this app? This is probably old news to all of you Carrara veterans, but on the off chance that it might be helpful to some of the newer users,(like myself) I thought I would share what I just learned. Obviously I have too much specularity, or shine on my rock mat, but I thought I'd leave it that way for the thumbnails 'cause it helps show more detail. Cheers, Dan
