I believe it is only relatively true.  It has long been my intuition 
that high-res, unsmoothed triangles would create more believeable 
surfaces for many materials, especially skin.  Proving it is just one of 
the many things on my to-do list, lol.  So I am looking forward to your 
source if for no other reason than ease of running tests at different 
resolutions.


FWIW a while back I was playing a bit with getting the weathering in 
face stones.  The examples attached are in fact iso's using round box 
macros from iso_csg.inc with some displacement, but the streaking 
effects might interest you.
