Modelling Organic Flaps

Hi All,

I would like to model something similar to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendritic_cell#/media/File:Dendritic_cell_revealed.jpg

My first intuition would be extruding the flaps from a sphere, however, it is somewhat static and doesn’t resemble the softness. Has anyone an idea how to model something like this?

Kind regards

The best way would be using the sculpt tools; with those, if enough experienced, you have full control of the shapes.

A quick way would be using the displace modifier: you start from an icosphere subdivided several times (depending on the needed resolution) then add on it a displace modifier. If result is not “soft” enough add also a smooth modifier.

another way would be to make small objects and then use the particles objects to distribute it over a sphere.
