@lexicolopolis, I know what you mean. Before opening Blender I also did some research. Because the paddles look very thick in the art and it’s an open structure, like in your reference, I imagined the paddles to be real buckets holding water. But that only makes sense when the water is comming from above like in the picture below. So I do think it’s more like your reference but with thick solid paddles….. Maybe I’m overthinking this ;).
