Updated the texture and spec (so it's not as metallic) of the rock I posted a bit back. Any and all feedback are nice. I can't say I'll fix this sculpt, but I will keep it in mind for the next.

Spoiler below!

I personally still think it looks a little to planar. It's not terrible, but it really reminds me of crystals, I.E.- Quartz.

You did a better job with the texture, perhaps you could add more bump to it and make it look like it has a ton of deformations/ granular/ worn bits. It'll make it look older and more like rock. Right now, to me, it looks too much like plastic.

Agree with Crisosphinx. Make it... more random, twist it in aleatorial ways. As Robosprog said, "Nature is random".

Yeah, a problem I have with some models is that the texture seems plastic (http://i.imgur.com/TcsgR.jpg, http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods.../6FMfF.jpg)
In this case I just painted it. Any suggestions to make it more organic? I heard something about skin, what is it? Is it in Blender?

It looks like you didn't apply a texture. You just applied a colored "texture" or surface. Add more color, make it brighter. Since it looks like you have a diffuse (MAX)/ color (Maya), add a spec and a bump map. If you don't have those available, make some!
