Fairly late in the game it dawned on me that this project was going to require quite detailed digital models of natural rock formations, the geometry of which is of course highly varied and organic. Rhino isn't well suited to this, so for the larger scale models of the intervention sites the work is switching to Sculptris by Pixologic -- the closest thing I've seen to digital clay -- and fortunately, it is still in alpha phase of development, so free do download:

Pictured here is the import from Rhino of the portion of the site model around Main Intervention 1, from here scupltris will be used to refine and develop features of the pre-intervention terrain.
