Re: Fishnet stockings?
After looking at Neri Oxman's site (which is excellent!) and thinking about the problem further, I came up with a pretty good workflow.
Getting the vertical edges of the form to follow opposing helical paths is the crux of the problem. The problem gets much more difficult if the form in not symmetrically oriented about a single axis.
I used a teapot lid and added a Twist modifer. I collapsed it down to an Editable Poly, selected all of the vertical edges, and used Create Shape From Selection. This shape was mirrored on top of itself and then both shapes were unified into one with Renderable Spline turned on.
Here is a shot of the results...
