Here’s a quick grass I made driving displacement with the leather material (cellular) with colors set to black and white, and a very small/dense cell size.

I ran the leather material thru a multiply/divide node to crank up the displacment a bit larger than default.

n8skow,
This is a great technique! Thanks for posting this!

Thanks,

Bg

no prob, happy to share
works okay from a distance.

You could further enhance the look by adding some physical geometry in the immediate foreground.
