Hello,
I’m working on a project involving a wristband, watchband, or glove. I have two approaches in mind:
Soap bubbles
Soap bubbles with reduced surface tension
The second idea is illustrated in the following image:
For the first approach, I tried using the Cocoon Plug-In, but it either resulted in a discontinuous structure or a single large blob. I also attempted to use Cocoon curve charges, but they didn’t connect with the bubbles.
As for the second approach, I explored using the “Pipe” function. However, I’m struggling to make the pipe ends tangential to both spheres while ensuring a minimum radius of half the sum of the sphere sizes.
cocoon with 40 points
cocoon with 70 points
cocoon file :
Cocoon strukture v1.gh (15.7 KB)
soap bubble file :
Soap bubbles v5.gh (13.5 KB)
I hope I have explained the problem clearly. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Yeah that looks good! I need to translate into 3D but the Shape is just as I imagined it.
Thanks lets see if it works

You can create the tangent cone or truncated cone around two spheres by finding the tangent line , angle, radius …etc

Great contribution, but I think it might be a bit complex to integrate into my code .
I think i might have had the wrong approach with the tangents but ill give it a shot.

I am getting really cool results with this. I think i’ll continue with your approach thanks!
