Thanks for the video tutorial! I was using FFD on a project a while back but it never occurred to me to try it here. I'll give it a shot!

Hello all.

This is my first topic, but I wanted to let everyone here know that I've already learned so much from reading this forum, and that I'm already grateful for all the knowledge to be found here. I have been doing architectural modeling for a while, but this forum has really been fantastic for anything organic. That being said, I hope this hasn't been discussed before...

Basically, what I want to do is create something similar to this 3d printed bowl: http://www.etsy.com/listing/73570780/mille-et-une-fruits-3d-printed-bowl. The way I was hoping to go about it would be to model the entire form on a flat plane and then drape it onto a form or terrain. The end goal would eventually (maybe) be 3d printed. As far as I know you can only drape 2d planes with the sandbox tools, but are then any plugins that I'm missing that could help me out? Or a different technique all-together to try? Thanks!
