Box Morph (8 points) is a very useful modifier.
But what about triangular box morph (6 points) ?
Or pentagonal box morph (10 points) ?
Tessellation with 3D modules can work like magic with those 2 extra!
Thank you!

I think MorphToMesh maybe a good choice , just fyi
This is in response to this question
just breaking it off here into its own thread
Here’s an example

In this example you can provide a list of geometry options for each type (pentagons/hexagons/heptagons) and it picks randomly. It would also be possible to adapt this if instead of random selection you wanted it to pick based on some local criteria.
I’d been meaning to make something like this for a while, as having only one input for each …

If you are using the latest Rhino8 WIP you can try a brand new feature. First it improves the regularity of your mesh to give more even sizes, and all pentagons/hexagons/heptagons, then in this last release there’s a new component ‘MorphToMesh’ which lets you define any geometry for each polygon type, and maps this to each corresponding cell in the mesh.
So here it does an inflation simulation for each of the 3 reference polygons, then maps these to the who…

ah, yes, MorphToMesh. Never used this component.
I see that I have to place my geometry inside those Ref Curves generated by it.

Hello, I would like try out morph to mesh too but somehow I am unable to download it.
The kangaroo plugin is no longer updated in food4 rhino it seems.
Is it only available in Rhino 8?

Yes you are right, this is an original component of Kangaroo 2 in Rhino 8

Ah, alrighty. I shall wait patiently then. Thanks for the reply!
Morph to Mesh is under Transform tab in Rhino 8 Grasshopper.
