Hello guys, i would need and advise on how to make a bench’s padding that is compressed between the surrounding cage and the panel underneath, obtaining a shape a bit like a balloon that is blown inside. I have tried different methods. The first one with nurbs surfaces using the patch and sweep 2 tools but it did not seem to work. The patch edges did not follow exactly the reference curves. I have also tried using grasshopper to simulate an inflate collision between a subd (padding) and the cage but it worked just with the try made with a sphere and a rounded cage and it has not worked for the cage’s shape i needed.
If anyone has an advise on how to do it with any method I will be glad to hear it. (n.b.: I have very little experience with grasshopper and subd modeling)
I will leave below some reference pictures.
This is how it should work
This is the type of effect that needs to be obtained for the bench
