Is there any way to trick CS into blending between closed surfaces?
At the moment I only get a linear solution or some other mess.

Looks like the only way is to duplicate the closed surfaces, split them into 2 halves (with shrink = yes), then use the two halves to do the blend.
I figured out this as well. I was only hoping that split won’t be necessary. Thanks for looking into it.

any reason you’d not just use the rhino blendsrf here?
it’ll do what you are showing.
For a simple reason. Rhino generates complex output considering very simple input. I was hoping CS can create anything cleaner (not without splitting).
When split into two parts, Rhino’s output comes clean as well.
seeing that here too.

Since you have carefully made both surfaces with matching parameterization a Loose Loft makes a simple blend.

It’s true (didn’t thought of it), but blends gives more controllable output (there is a target shape behind this)
Perhaps Jim’s suggestion of loose loft and then edit with CV Modelling will be the best ‘work-around’ for the moment?
