Creating curves on an extruded shape that is curved...
-
Do you mean a wave or ripple on the curved vertical face, or a wave along the top face?
Suggestion:
Fredo6 Tools on Surface, and possibly, Joint/Vector/Normal Push Pull also by Fredo6.Suggestion:
Somehow re-orient the model so that Sandbox tools can be employed, using smoove tool to create contours.-BTM's sculpt tool is still in development, but this may help.
maybe none of the above

Heres a quick go using the bend tool in fred06's fredoscale plugin.

Thanks folks! That is what I'm looking to do, with the ripple on the top like that.
Stupid noob question. What is fred06's fredoscale plugin?

Hi Remus,
how do you do that? I downloaded fredos scale plugin and there is an option "Radial Bending (free). What must I select to get this nice curve?
Cheers

No, thet's (I guess) "Shape Bender" by Chris Fullmer.

It was radial bend, and i just grouped the whole thing->selected the group->bend around one of the corners. The plugin does the rest for you.

My bad - sorry for the misleading info

No problem Gaieus.
@Remus I have made a group, selected this and then I use the radial blend tool at the top of my mesh (in the middle of the top-surface), but it doesn't work. It is totally deformed. If I use the tool around one of the corners, it does nothing.
Can you mark the point in my attachment, where I must use the radial blend tool?

Have you pressed "F4" before you used the bend tool on your shape? This will let you to obtain a smooth curved bend.
