Here is a quick rock wall script...(uses 1.5 make 3D from Alpha feature)
rockwall.txt (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_file-1032371199aeu.txt) - Be sure to select Show Actions

Some notes:

:b4: The alpha was created as a seamless pattern using the "~" key. This allows the object to be tiled in 3D (Kinda) if needed.

:b4: I used the Double Shader material to allow for 2 different noise settings. One with no radius to add some texture and one with a small radius and color bump to allow for irregular surface.

:b4: On the first image, I used texturemaster. This worked fine on the original mesh. But when I optimized that mesh, it got funky, so I skipped that step (I skipped it in the script as well). However, if you optimize the mesh (Tool>Modifiers>Deformation>Optimize), you get more surface irregularities. A good material and this looks great.

:b4: Global perspective is so cool!

:b4: If you vary the depth (Slightly) of your cube while creating the alpha pattern, your resulting mesh will have some blocks that stick out slightly.

Excellent 3D result, thanks for the script. :tu: :tu: :tu:

I like the wall and the foliage. My only suggestion would be a little more variety in the color and position of the vine leaves, but that is not important.
Excellent work :ex: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

I need a wall just like this for my current project.
Looks good. :tu: :tu: :tu:
