It wouldn't work completely. You'd have to make the holes via a difference.

It perturbs each mesh point as it goes, so it'd be a bit of a rewrite I'm
afraid. But the technique is sound, as long as you could create your bricks as
meshes, all the perturbation needs is a normal and a pigment function.

Look at the code; it's in the object collection.
