It's a highly isotropic type of geometry, with a lot of detail if you look close enough.

I'm not sure this will work, but I'd start by generating a set of large random numbers, and then another set of smaller random numbers at a higher frequency. Add the two together and you might get the layered detail you see here.

I have no good ideas on how to achieve the variation along the fracture boundary though.

Here's some logic that:

• Generates a polyline with two levels of detail, each adjustable in frequency and amplitude
• Has an adjustor for making the lines connecting two different offset more or less straight.

Wow, thanks for the quick and very informative replies! That looks exactly what I need to get into, thanks!

Thanks, I keep forgetting that.
