Yes, but first, work out that mortar:brick ratio. Moving closer as it is
will not do much for imposing.

You might try using a crackle solid pigment to give individual colors
to the stones (if you use the same parameters for the pigment as for the
isosurface, they should correspond and "solid" will ensure that each one
has a single color).

Try playing with the form keyword...

I tried it once but as the brick-pattern it seems to take forever to render,
so I abandoned this idea, too.

Well it is probably not that easy for the bad guys to climb the wall when
there are the good guys at the top of the wall. But you are right that most
of the epic literature suggests smooth surfaces. OTOH those medieval walls I
saw jet has not been that smooth. Might have been the time which carved its
signs in the wall. But it's not that easy to build and maintain that smooth
walls, is it?
But the longer I think about those walls, the more I think there has to be
another way to build them. How to make regular irregularity? :-)

Odd, it shouldn't. Metric is the only keyword that should significantly
increase render times.

Oops, I tried it again and of course you are right. Form does not slow
things down, so I'll see if I can get a good result with it.

I'm not sure what value of form would help in this case, though. To change
the shape of the bricks in any meaningful way pretty much requires metric.

Yes, excuse me i was indeed thinking of metric when I said form...

I think part of the problem is that only low walls are commonly made of
such randomly-arranged rocks. Stretching the pattern laterally (scale
<0.2,0.07,0.2>) seems to help a bit, in this very crude sketch.
But yeah, the walls ought to be smooth. Romanesque churches have smooth
walls, a fort can too. The lumpy `walls' you see in a lot of ruins are
the rubble core of the original walls: their surfaces were smooth.
