Hi Leo. Have you figured out how to bend a model?

Phil - yes.

I cut and repositioned the cut pieces, then baked.

I also did a bunch of Distort tool.

Interesting method for "bending".

Leo, you might try using "Extrude and Weave" under the Modeling tab.

I met with the customer to show her what I had.

As a result I decided to try to create my own leaf.
I am gradually getting a little better at creating models from scratch.

I think it came out decent

No contest, your version much is better.

I'm with John, your version looks much better. The original looks like it need watering

I'm feeling pretty good about this. I have created the entire thistle model from scratch. Just from looking at a dozen of various thistle pictures. I was afraid to try the leaves. Glad to get pushed into doing it.

That's one thing I like about making stuff for people. Especially when they are paying you. They are not afraid to express their opinion, and I encourage them to challange me. It sure does stretch my envelope.
