      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.

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

          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˜‰

              Else you have also Fracture by TIG! πŸ˜‰
              But it's not free! πŸ€“
