My egg is broken! Details on curved surfaces

- [Instructor] In this video we work with creating details on curved surfaces. You'll find out that the strategy used for making details on flat surfaces just don't work anymore. So we now explore the Flow command. Let's zoom into this finished cracked egg and you'll notice that crack detail goes all the way around and it does not repeat in any direction. So that's done the correct way. For reference, let's look at the incorrect way. So this was created by having a polyline from the front view, it was projected straight forward and backward, created this blue curve which is on the surface that was used for a split. Here's the problem though, this thing looks perfectly symmetrical and not organic at all. So what I'd like to do next is figure out a way to get this polyline to wrap around the surface, and therefore it would be unique at every point and not have this repetition from front to back. Let's go ahead…
