    I want to make a curved surface with voronoi structure. The voronoi software seems to work only on flat surfaces. How do I go about bending a voronoi pattern flat surface to conform to a bendy surface e.g. a spoon or an egg?

      You could use Vertex Tools or FFD to bend the object into the shape.

        I vote for Flowify, since the bending described is multi-directional.

          ...or Flowify by Caul! πŸ˜‰
          Secret is to have the target surface "quadrilatary"
          So erase for the dome some line's segments! (here top & Bottom) πŸ€“
          Of course you can erase very tiny lines of surfaces if you want quasi Sphere, Dome etc...! πŸ˜‰
