if you want to enhance 3D rock surfaces or bark objects, you should consider to scatter lichen on those objects.
This short video will show you one way to create such a piece with CINEMA 4D, but you should be able to transfer this to other applications too.
You can download some lichen objects in various formats from here (put under CC):

And here you can see an example of several, simple lichen shapes scattered over a rock surface:
