How to model twisting organic shape similar to Richard Erdman's Volante Moon

[CGonz_T]

Hi everyone! I stumbled a project that needs to model a concept very similar to this image:

I’m trying to think of process but can’t get my head how even begin or if Rhino is the right tool to do something like this (I also have 3ds Max). I appreciate your feedback.

Stay safe, Thanks!

Hello - this looks like a good candidate for the subD modeling tools in the V7/WIP -

Rhino 7 Feature: Subdivision Geometry

Accurate, organic modeling just got easier. Subdivision surface objects (SubD) open up many new workflows: Push and pull to explore complex, free-form shapes in real-time. SubD objects are highly accurate and can be converted directly to manufacturable solids. Convert scan or mesh data into SubD objects, then optionally to NURBS.

You could certainly do it with surfaces but to do it cleanly would be a job.
