You could try deforming NURBs planes.

Best might be to find a real flower petal. Flatten it and observe the shape. Try to recreate that in a plane. Perhaps via lofting of curves.

Then you can manipulate the CVs to give it a rounded shape. Have a fiddle and post a pic of what you get.

You need to balance the amount of CVs you get when generating your surface though. Too many and it's a real pain getting all the CVs into position to give you a nice realistic shape. Too little and you can't add the detail.

get side views of the pedals from downloaded pics .. or scan a real pedal from a real flower and a picture .. then just put the picture onto a plane and shape another plane or a flattened cube to similar shape of the rose pedal?

i'd probably try doing it with just subD's. They make for nice rounded shapes good for organic objects. For more details simply add more divisionduser added image

i did these just by making a poly plane using mj polys to make more edges for shaping.

I'd go for poly planes get the basic shape and then deform them with non linear bends.

I've only used non-linear bends once on one project so I'm still getting used to how they deform objects but I'll try it. I was thinking about doing polygon planes before I posted this thread but I wanted to make sure that was the way to go. Thanks guys! I'll try them and see what comes out of it. Nice model BTW Magicsy...

What's wrong with just modelling the petals? It doesn't look _that_ complicated... But, as usually, I'm probably wrong user added image
