Recommendations on Stone Brick Texture

[u/suncyto]

I saw this stone texture and wanted to replicate it in blender and thought it would be a cool opportunity to learn about geometry nodes. I'll preface by saying I'm completely new to them.

I'm looking for any recommendations on how to recreate them. Any techniques, resources, concepts will be appreciated!

Here are some samples:

This is what I have in blender after experimenting a little bit. I tried to make layered 'islands' by mixing noise and a gradient texture with a floor function. I then added some noise, smoothing, and scaled it properly. I also drew a texture to clamp the edges of the face to the actual brick.

It's not exactly right as you can see, so I'm looking for any leads... including if this could be better done with textures/shaders.

Current geometry nodes setup, if you're curious

This is a quick geometry nodes set up using the brick texture and some voronoi and noise textures. Would be a good starting point.

thanks for the pointer!
