Help With Japanese Roof

I’ve never attempted to make a Japanese styled roof, but here is what I’d do though. I would make the wave type design using archimedes, and tinker with it a bit until I was satisfied. Then, I would duplicate them and place them overlapping each other like you would in real life. Then, I would union it or mesh it to take a bit of the lag away. I’m not really caring for lag much because I have no games released currently but I’ve done it with a few small jobs here and there and it turns out beautifully

Thanks for the input, I may attempt to try this out but lag is still a concern

I have done that when I made a anime house for a person

My friend made a dojo, and i think the roof design he did was very nice. take inspiration if u would like.

Did he use corner wedges for the corners of the roof?

Cylinders, and blocks. No wedges im afraid.

Im not too sure how to managed to make the corners, that is the place I struggle the most with.

Try this tutorial. Enjoy!

Final product. Left building it in August and came back this June.
The lighting isn’t great, it was just something quick
