I'd be very interested to see a good realistic picture. I don't think I'll
bother making them realistic, but I'd still like to know how they should look.

BTW, why should they be smoother? Surely only the ones big enough to have some
significant gravity would be smooth ('cause they'll attract dust to get a smooth
surface). In case you're wondering these rocks are around 50m in diameter.
