This setup will use the vector displacement texture to displace and bump the surface to get thin details.

1. In the RenderGraph, add a Materials/VectorDisplacement to the objects to displace.
2. Set the displacement texture filename in the File attribute.
3. Set the Displacement -> Displacement Mode to Displacement+Bump.
4. Check the Subdivision -> Smooth attribute.
