I had a very hard time getting the tower's displacements to not intersect and fold over each other. This was a real pain in the butt render.

I was trying to come up with a name. Paul Bunyan's stool was one.
The tower would have a lot of wind shear. It stands alone in a fairly flat area. So I made the trees tilt wildly, maybe too much.
