Hey all, I need to make a render containing a small pile of... uh.. "white powder." What would be the easiest way of going about that and making it look real? I'm thinking a small displacement map maybe, but I don't know for sure. Anyone have any experience making something like this?

Any help would be nice,

what you could try to do is make a cone and manipulate it into a pile like format and create a map that looks like powder in photoshop or wherever. then put that in the bump map of the cone. Don't know if it'll get what you want but that is all i can think of.
