The cladding mesh was developed in a similar was to the structure mesh. The controlling surfaces, limited by an outer constraint, were trimmed and then populated by random points in UV-space to form a mesh. The mesh needed to be optimized to avoid unrealistic elements like the large triangle on the inner leg. For the developing stages in the project this was done by hand by outputting and analyzing info about the triangles in Excel.
