Any tools to create cracks?

I'm making a model for my 3d printer and I want the surface to resemble a stone surface so I want to add some cracks to the surface.
I've not had any success importing any filetype from moi to 3dcoat or mudbox so I want to do it entirely in moi.

I'm not artistic enough to create any kind of fancy surface as I've so far only made simple mechanical models so I hope there is a script
or something similar to mudbox sculpting. Is this possible to achieve without having to manually draw the cracks in 3d?

Hi Zim3000x, it's difficult to create sculpted type organic details in a CAD program like MoI - something like ZBrush or 3D coat or mudbox like you also mention would be your best bet. You can use .obj format to transfer from MoI into those formats. When you do the export make sure your mesh is fairly finely decimated into small pieces by using the "Divide larger than" option at export time as shown in these examples:
