Hmmm. I thought this could work.
The reason I thought it would work is because of this tut

But with the "SSS" I thought it would work because there would be no "lead in" at the bace. And we could start with a square rather than a rounder form. Also the tower could still be set to the desired hight.
The image here has some strange things happening. It looks like its folding in on its self? Which looks like an object that has displacement added to it. But its terrain! The sss is simply a set of instructions, right? So why dose it collapse like an object in this case?
