Yes. The second one looks "nibbled by years" :)
I like sand, it looks very real. But I think, the stones colour and
grainnes should vary slightly.
Sincerely Yours,
Alex Kluchikov.

The texture is interesting, but perhaps more castlewall, or decorative
paver.
Real cobblestones are somewhat rounded and used to bear traffic.
Originally they were derived from local river stone.
e.g.
http://www.pmb.ox.ac.uk/images/tour/TourOutside1.jpg
They age/wear to become smoothe and shiny. See e.g.
http://www.miksang.net/galleries/gal_waynewilliams/pages/Dublin-Cobble-Stone.html

look my last irtc participation at:
http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2005-06-30/untitled.jpg
my isosurfaces were placed using trace() over an height_field i made with
photoshop
I hope that perhaps it serves as inspiration or aid you.

Both images are impressive.
It looks like it could do with more AA (or just a bigger image size),
but basically... it looks pretty good!

The stones look a bit grainy - how about turning up AA (as another poster
suggested) and maybe fiddling with the texture to remove the black bits?

I think the overall shape of the stones is great, but the finishing could be
a bit better. I think that the stones would be more polished after being
used a bit. Making them a bit smoother and shinier should do the trick.

To be honest, the texture is lend from stones1.inc (pigment in T_Grnt17a with
slight modifications).
The original render had far more less dynamic in colors. I raised it with before
posting it in order to see more details.

wow, thanks for the references. Gives me good point where to start, even when
the Dublin reference seems to be basalt (nearly homogeneous black) instead of
granite.
It happend that I saw some worker's building a cobblestone sideway. Of cause
they used freshly broken stones. This was probably the main influence I had in
mind as I searched for the right look.
I have to play with the parameters of the rigged_mf function to get this
polished look on top and a little more grainish look inside the ditches.
I'm not sure if a supperellispoid is the appropiate base shape for a "pillowed"
cube. Maybe I've to blob a sphere with superellispoid or so.

yepp, you're right. Finish still needs work (especialy if it comes to be a
slightly wet look)

not kidding ...., I had the same idea in mind as the most cobblestone streets
are slightly pillowed to allow the water to flow to the sites.
I didn't implemented it so far 'cause I'm still searching for the right geometry
as well for a good overall look concerning texture and finish of the stones.
...really nice picture by the way.
