Is there a particular reason you desired to make all the stones
one isosurface?  it seems like you'd get a faster render time if
they were seperate objects.  This in turn would allow their
positions to be perturbed more.  I also notice that the rocks
are all smooth.  Perhaps you could use a blob object instead of
an isosurface for a further increase in speed.

I picture something like ... defining 12 different rock shapes.
Then, whenever you place a rock, randomly pick which of the 12
pre-defined rock shapes to place.  Rotate it randomly y before
placing it.  As each one is placed, randomly texture it.
