Can someone help me figure out how to make this? Where do I even begin?

If patterns could follow a spline the weave part might be doable?

If you are just looking for the general whale shape, import the image and start with splines in sketch mode. Guided lofting maybe.

If you need to work within Shapr easiest would be just applying weave material.

When your done with making the shape theres many texturing apps that lets you apply texture to your model.

If you can work on a desktop or need actual 3d weave. Using Blender would be easier and faster to accomplish.

Thank you. It definitely seemed clumsy and bordered on impossible. I need actual weave. Looks like I’ll be learning Blender.
