Thanks, I'll have to check out the tutorial manual.
You can triangulate quads in Blender easily. There are also some things you
can do to get the triangles more irregular. There may even be a Python
script for this somewhere. If I ever find one, I will let you know. I tried
some stuff in Blender and this is what I could get so far. If you want more
explanation on anything, just let me know.
