      I want to create some space age habitats... what I want to know if there is a plugin that could take for example a terrain surface and "roll it" or "curve it" so it can become the inside of a "halo type world" or the inside of a "Rama like habitat". (for those who rea Arthur C Clarkes Rendezvous with Rama)

      obviously I do not intend on creating something as complex as these... but something similar would be very interesting.

        You can project images on volume, surfaces with Plug UV Tool by Whaat Spherical or Cylindrical

        You can curve a volume by FFD plugin by CPhillips but this volume must be divided before on the directions of the curvatures!
        (you can make the box of deformation with any "little cross x,y,z" you want)

        The divide of a volume can be made by Zorro2 a crazzy plug by Whaat who permit to draw a line in the space for "cut" the volume ;
