Yes!  Thank you!

 isosurface {
     function { f_rounded_box(x,y,z,0,0.75,0.75,0.75) - f_noise3d(x, y, z)*
0.25 }
     contained_by { box { -1 , 1} }
     max_gradient 0.5
     pigment{Red}
     scale 0.2
 }

I made the function smaller than the box and finally got something like I
want.

(I'm sorry I'm so dense about this.)

I tweaked it some more and finally got this:

 isosurface {
     function { f_rounded_box(x,y,z,0,0.85,0.85,0.85) - f_noise3d(x*5, y*5,
z*5)* 0.05 }
     contained_by { box { -1 , 1} }
     max_gradient 25
      pigment {
        gradient y
        color_map {
           [0.00 color Gray90]
           [0.20 color Gray30]
           [0.40 color Gray80]
           [0.60 color Gray20]
           [0.80 color Gray10]
           [1.00 color Gray80]
        }
        turbulence 0.75
        scale <1,0.1,1>
      }
     finish {ambient 0.4}
     scale <0.3,0.1,0.3>
 }

That was the look I was trying to achieve.  Thanks for your help!

this is the code i used.  scaling the wrinkles pigment gives different
'smoothness' of bricks.  i guess granite or bumps would do just as well.
the random seed also makes sure every brick is different.  you could also
try messing around with the gray value.

Bill, that looks about perfect for the type of walls you see along highways (where
they've cut through hills). Evaluating the
pigment
properly might be problematical, but I think there's a use for what you have here.

Salute,

I played with this idea also, but tried to create the box as a math
function.  I quickly found a solution to creating a cubic box using a simple
equation, but it uses outrageous exponents, of course.  A moments though will
show why.  However, I did not want perfect edges; rather, a rounded box will
work fine for this idea.  I just took the absolute values of x^11, y^11, and
z^11 and added them to get a very decent rounded box structure.
    Then I added a crackle function that I scaled to produce "exfoliation"
layers like real slate or shale would have, and added it to that box function
with some turbulence.  Here are a few simple images that the functions created,
using a straight brown pigment scheme.  I will go back and play with the texture
and pigment now and see what emerges.

Cheers!

Man, I love this stuff- I have moved a few equations around and came up with
a pretty fair redwood tree trunk.  You can see a little container clipping on
the front, but I will get rid of that.  Here is the image, and it is not far
removed from the turbulent stone images except by a couple of math terms.
