Looking for suggestions how to create these crazy sconces. Im in a rush as usual and have to get something like this lopped into a restaurant model. Not sure what the best script or technique would be. Any and all help welcome.

Some ideas
Extrude tools by TIG (Extrude edges along path)
First one!
Better and speeder if each curve 2 by 2 have same number of segments!

looking at trying curviloft also.
thanks!

I'd try using Artisan, JPP and FFD.
fast test, process stages on bottom.

Thanks guys!
Forgot to come back here and post how it went...i placed these images in SketchUp, drew a few arcs starting from the bottom and going up that defined the shape as it changes from top to bottom, drew a top shape that looked like it was similar enough to the top of the sconce and used CURVILOFT to very simply create a mesh from the closed loops.
Once the mesh was created, i just textured it with the reference image (projected) and it looks beautiful. Probably a similar method as above using the Curviloft script.
Thanks,
