How to Make flower petals compressed INSIDE a Sphere

Question

i want to make flower petals compressed INSIDE a Sphere. just like this image. i just want the petals inside , not the sphere part nor the upper part

Perhaps the opposite of this technique https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/84438/squeezing-shape-by-another-one/84460#84460 — Duarte Farrajota Ramos, Sep 23 '21 at 09:41
You can use shrinkwrap modifier with inside mode. play with the offset value. — ronindev, Sep 23 '21 at 09:50

Here is an option with a zero-gravity Cloth simulation.

First, lazy modeling of these flower petals inside:

create a plane and subdivide it a few times. That's the flower petal instance.
create a tiny sphere and add 20 hair particles.
set the Particle Settings > Render > Render As to Object and Particle Settings > Render > Instance Object to the plane.

Now create one single object from this and make it cloth:

convert the particles to a mesh (modifier tab).
join all flower petals to one mesh object (select all, Ctrl+J)
add a Cloth modifier
turn off Gravity. It's in Cloth Settings > Field Weights.
turn on Self Collision.

Then model an oversized cherry (Icoshphere, a little editing & Subdivision Surface modifier).

add a Collision and a Soldify modifier to it.

Last but not least, make a short shrink animation by keyframing the scale value of the cherry (I in Object mode). Run the simulation. If you're happy with the result apply the Cloth modifier.

Test render:

Man, that result is really beautiful, well done :)) – jachym michal Sep 24 '21 at 22:53 — jachym michal, Sep 24 '21 at 22:53
