        mmm...thoughts, clipmaps(or image with alpha channels)...it's render
        then using FFD to splash sphere or cube with sub-subd. to get this form(or look at incredible buildings by fbartels...geometric-formula meshes)
        uv-mapping - Urgen's tricks from art-sketch...

          I reckon the method you use will really depend on how accurate you want the model. If accuracy sint too important, you could probably just model a skin and then apply a PNG texture with some transparency to get the gaps in the surface.

          If you want a more physically accurate model, i tihnk youd be much better off with a modelling program such as topmod: http://www-viz.tamu.edu/faculty/ergun/research/topology/
          I havent uset it myself, but i think you could probably produce some pretty good results, looking at other models that people have made.

                It was doing my head in writing a tute. Hopefully you'll be able to work it out from that.
