I am trying to create a crescent cushion shape similar to that of a neck pillow. I need to add creasing to mimic the look of fabric. The creasing would go on the innermost part of the crescent.

How can I achieve this? (I am quite new to Shapr3d)

You can use the current edges or project sketches to face. So that you can use the edges to sweep creases.

Curve at Point was utilized to create the construction plane and I sketched simple circle, you can sketch more elegant looking crease.

Is this what you had in mind?

I’m looking more for something like this where the fabric is wrinkled. Thank you!

For the wrinkles you can utilize Mikes method. If that is not enough, cuts, fillet, and loft can to be utilized, these method might be unnatural in Shapr3d because it’s not the right tool to create that kind of wrinkle.

You can make the base shape and import in mesh tool to sculpt creases, wrinkles.

You can look into Blender or Nomad Sculpt for that.

In blender you can even do it realistically.

Here’s a method albeit a bit tedious. I used Sweep and Subtract to create a crease. Random sizes, widths and angles might give you look you are seeking.

Combining a digital model of your creased pillow with a [TPU](https://kingroon.com/collections/tpu-filament?sca_ref=9443968.VmbECjyAZgWd) print could be a great way to evaluate how the wrinkles visually and tactilely perform—especially useful if you’re planning to design soft objects for real-world application.

Good point, there are software for that kind of stuff too!
