I don't even know what to call this shape. I start with the rectangle base (30"x40") and have the 6.5" block at the top, but I have no idea how to "bend" the semi-circles. Can anyone offer some tips on getting started? I have a good grasp of most basic concepts. I feel like the follow tool is involved here somehow... What I'm really getting at is trying to find the exact dimensions and contour of the curves so I can cut the plastic the way I need to.

Thanks! I'm sure this is an odd-ball request.

I have a 2D JPEG of a baseball bat which I used to create a 3D bat in a model. I drew a straight line down the center (the length of the bat) and drew the outline on ONE side. I then used the follow me tool to create the bat.

I want to apply the image I have to the bat. I have tried to import JPEG as a texture and apply but because there are so many lines/polygons on the surface of the smoothed bat I lose it. Can anyone suggest how I might do something like this? I tried applying the texture to the 2D bat before using the follow me tool but that didn't work either.

Thanks!
