Displace pattern on mesh

[laurent_delrieu]

Hello
what you show on your reference image seems to be a texture displacement for the hexagons and some fading that could be done with attractor or texture. The main drawback of this approach is that it needs a fine mesh.

OR It could also be possible to map some grid on a mesh with shapemap and use it to make a pattern

ShapeMap

OR if surface to use some classical hexagons
OR if revolving surface to use these tricks

Hexagons on surface : Is there a tool that outputs nice hexagons?

Dear community I tried some plugins to put hexagons on a surface with a seam. I tried lunchbox, ngon. I didn’t try Paneling tool. These tools have problems or the seams (lunchbox, or too much points (polyline with 9 points for ngon plugin), not hexagons at the ends, or too much distorsion … As I need quite nice hexagons I developed a little tool 2 hours work). You just have to put the number of hexagons on a ring and say where is the seam (U or V). [image] Did I miss an existing tool ? M…

So there are many solutions that depends on the geometry you have, what you really want …

What am I doing wrong?

or

I’m not able to set it up.

it could be best you post some geometry and script and if not possible try to make an example that could be shared.
