_How do I create a cloud like blobby shape in 3D?_

I have Dendro installed, guess that could be used. Pointers would be nice. In the end I want to try using it as the base for creating the canopy of a tree.

Maybe something like I posted in this thread could help?

[2021-06-07 20-07-39.2021-06-07 20\_08\_37] From where we left off in the other topic, here’s how you can inflate the remeshed geometry, all the while restraining it a little.

Thank you! I see, the author simply fused subd spheres.

I’ve “fused” mesh spheres in the example, quad remeshed them, and inflated them with Kangaroo 2.
