Check out David Fano's great site, Design ReForm. There's a question on the Max forum about the Bird's Nest in Beijing; I'm not certain if mine is doing exactly the same thing(!) but it's a start.
1. (Blue) NURBS massing of skin.
2. SurfDeform (WSM) Modifier applied to (Green) Plane Object.
3. Go down the stack to adjust Plane Object to fit massing.
4. Plane Object used as template for (Blue) Spline pattern (this one tiles horizontally). Apply Normalize Spline Modifier to allow it bend. Apply Sweep Modifier.
5. Instance of the SurfDeform (WSM) Modifier applied to Spline pattern.
6. You can duplicate the Spline pattern and play around. Perhaps slide pattern around NURBS massing (U Percent), experiment with layering effects etc.

can you post a video tutorial about this....it seems confusing for me !
pls do a video tutorial
i keep trying and trying and it doesn't work:((((
hey, ive just recently seen ur post.. That was a brilliant solution thanks!!!! I had a quick question though, Is it possible to attach a 2d cad drafted pattern on the plane which flows on the surface??? So that the net result will be that the pattern is morphing around the shape??? Like a parent child or a linking ar attaching modifier? It would be a great help if you could let me know about that thanks!!! my email is juhi.dhr@gmail.com
Intresting, I'll try this asap too :)
hi
Iam tring to do your tutorial but i have few question.
in point 2 how do you know the dimension of the green plan ? (so it can fit with the blue)
thanks for sharing
Hi there, i test your bird's nest thing with different methods: nurbs with surfdeform, patches with patchdeform... but none is working very well :-(
I tried with meshe modeling:
2 structures , one for the nest , one for the skin(splines with shell).
i used bend deformer on the skin and compound object> conform.
It"s working quite well but it's as flexible as nubs.
So could u please explain us a bit more the way u proceed.
Thanx
