Thanks, Norbert.
I was very pleased to have accidentally stumbled upon this result of a
confluence of experiments.

Crackle yes, but the rest of the "texture" is actually the result of compressing
my blobbed diamond-cubic unit cell after applying the crackle texture.  The
"scales" are actually the spherical nodes of the diamond network, and the
apparently smooth "skin" is just all of the overlaid skeletal connections.

I have a few more mathematical / crystallographic 3D patterns that I'm looking
to experiment with - hopefully some of those will suggest equally interesting
applications.

I'll post the SDL in scene files section.
