Here is my very quick and simple way I had a go at it dave...nowhere NEAR ctbram of course but I did have a crack at the shape. Negatives are hard to do for sure and you have certainly done well. Its suprising..ct and I didnt talk about this negative space thing until tonight and yet we came up with very similar solutions to a feisty problem.

It would be nice if you could make the geo required then attach it to a 'SOLID' (ie the container shape)..sort of like a cloth but without the 'drapery' problems a cloth would cause.

Anyway..interesting subject...negetive spaces..should give people a headache for some time to come LOL.

cheers bullet
