Well, to state the blindingly obvious ( >:-) ), torii are the way to go,
for most things. Now, you'll never get torii in the shapes you want, but
90% of the time, some scaling, some clipping, and some fiddling will get
you what you're looking for. And, as opposed to nurms, and patches, and so
forth, it's very fast, and very easy....
