My initial way of handling this would be to model them in another program like Lightwave, then import them to be cloned and positioned where I wanted them.

It can be done procedurally. I think I used perlin 3D as a base for Y stretched areas and then coloring them with a default shader with some translucency and reflectivity and such.

Hi Dune

Thanks, if anyone could do this it would be you but getting them to grow on a vertical rock wall which is part of a landscape, is a different matter!! Will carry on playing.

Andrew, I've considered that but with thousands to place in tens of locations...... I've also considered billboards but same problem.
