Hello there
I am trying to manufacture a teardrop shaped object and while the oval provides most of what I wish, I wonder if there is anyway to taper the top of the oval into a point so that it appears more as a teardrop than as an oval.
Is there something that I might not know about building out of prims? Can we mess with vertices of any given prim?

not a smooth tear drop, but you can make a narrow sphere and then dimple the heck out of it...

I made a rough ogive out of 5 dimpled spheres with different heights. Using more will give you a smoother shape, depending on how you want to construct it.
