Hi all,

I would like to create this 3D curved cone shape in Adobe, but I have no clue at all.

Do you guys know how to do this?

You could start with a diagonal line.

Effect > 3D > 3D Classic > Revolve.

Object > Expand Appearance.

Select Puppet Warp tool and add points and drag points where needed.

Not sure what you ultimate purpose is, but you could create the 3d cone, then take the smart object into Photoshop and use the puppet warp transform tool to get this look pretty easily. While Illustrator has puppet warp as well, it will not work how you want on the 3d shape. If you rasterize the shape, it won't work at all. If you bring it in as a smart object into Photoshop, it will remain editable as a vector object, but can easily be transformed this way. But again, it all depends on what you output/final use is.
