There's a rather handy high resolution elevation map of Ceres here:
https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search..._60ppd_Oct2016

And you get cool results if you use it as a displacement map, and apply it with too much strength for realism.

Yup! Just download the image and apply it to a sphere as a displacement map...

Thanks for the link, I want to get back to my asteroid scene and this will help. Nice job.

If you poke around the site looking for global elevation maps, there are loads more...
