Special thanks for the renders given to: Blade_Master777, BurrMan, M-Dynamics,
and of course Ed Ferguson - who also provided a great animation video: https://vimeo.com/51462699


This tutorial showcases many of the new tools found in the new Version 3 Beta release, including Flow, Twist, Isocurves and more. I take a unique path to constructing the main shape element of the rim, first augmenting a surface by moving its control points, them implementing a series of distortion tools to achieve an organic look.
