    See. That's why I love this forum. I'd been messing with this problem for hours, and you guys had the answer in no time. Displacement maps are the PERFECT solution! Here's a really quick test and the method I used, for any interested.

    What I did was first draw straight walls with the pen tool. Then apply a displacement map of Render>Clouds. Magic wand select the "wall" areas and expand that selection by half the width of the brush I had used to stroke the pen path (to eliminate the anti-aliasing "halo") and make a mask from that. I then inverted that selection and made another mask to represent the room and hallways. I filled those respective layers with some textures and applied a few choice effects. 2 minutes. Tops.

    When I fine tune the displacement map to get the specific wall effect I'm trying to duplicate, I'll post the displacement map file along with a mini-tutorial on how to use it.
