Modelling unusual shapes

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi

My current model requires clouds. I am planning to use the basic shapes for this. The client wants them fluffy. Any suggestions as to the best way to do this.
There is also a fountain required. I am keen to hear of anyones' experience with modelling water. ie what might I expect.

Thanks

Just did a further test.
It seems that you should make the intermediate tiles [green in my diagram] split vertically to close the surface perfectly. It is not accurate enough with just rectangles.....

And on third thought - triangle meshes do work best.
