Maya Deformer Experiments: Plant 01

I have been experimenting with deformers such as the bend and lattice deformers to see how I can make my plants less vertically and horizontally grown but instead more dynamic and chaotic.
This is very fun pulling at parts of my plants and having no idea what will be the result. I've started off doing this on one plant to test what could be achieved. I really like the outcomes, some of them are more extreme than others but each has its own quirky quality!
