Gravel or textured surface that looks like gravel
I am making a tool for working with concrete I need to apply a surface to the tool that looks like gravel in a random arrangement in 3-d like you would see in freshley poured concrete. I am unable to find anything like this anywhere. Does anyone know where I might find something like this or even a model of a piece of gravel which I could use to make imprints. I have tried to model something but it keeps coming out looking un natural. Format does not matter I can open most.

There is plenty of asset available for gravel, some are even free and available as mesh model, like:

but depending on the surface you want to cover you may be quickly be limited by your hardware, unless you are using a true multithread software (wich didn't exist on cad program I believed) with an impressive number of CPU, or used mesh program instead of CAD program (like maya, max, blender...)
