      Assuming you don't mean to create that rough texture, you could use SketchyFFD to deform a sphere.

        Yeah, I didn't need the texture so much as just the general shape. I didn't make that clear in my post. Sorry Solo. Thanks Jim. I'll try this plugin out. 😄

          I understand you to mean you wish to deform a sphere.
          Window>Components>scroll and select SimpleSphere02 for instance. This is a UV type sphere with latitude and longitude lines.
          Place it in the model space.
          Right click edit component.
          Select any part, move, pushpull or whatever.
          Alternatively, use Scale, or Fredoscale on preselected loops perhaps.
          You can finagle the selection box by tilting(twisting) the camera with Ctrl+Orbit to select loops very accurately.
          Once selected, you can move the geometry selectively and sequentially along the red green or blue axes. If it refuses to budge, hit Alt key+ move.

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            To model the roughness you could use Randomize TIN plugin or just Random Select plugin and scale holding contol key...

              I can't seem to find the Random Select plugin. And I don't have Pro so the first plugin is not an option.

                          What is it called? What does it do? Who wrote it? How'd you get it? Does it work nicely? 😮

                          I want it. 😄
