Field Lines to Volume (Dendro)

Hello everyone,

I am trying to convert Field Line curves into meshes using the Dendro Curve to Volume component. However, I keep encountering the following error: “Solution exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” I have tried resolving the issue by following suggestions from previous threads, but unfortunately, I haven’t had any success.

Here is the script in question:

Would anyone have a solution to this problem? Thank you!

hello
Never, never … never use DataTree in Dendro. Except if you expect many different volumes/meshes as a result.
When something goes wrong it is good to inspect. Here you were generating 1500 Dendro Volume because you has a datatree as input.
Just flatten the input of “Curve To Volume” you will end with a single Dendro Volume !!!
So Volume Union is here not useful.


Settings using Slider without using a Dam is not recommended.

Bandwith could be an integer like 1,2 … not less than 1.0

Thank you very much! That solves it.

My final goal is to recreate something similar to what’s shown in the image below. I think it’s one of the surface explorations created for the Mycoscape project (IAAC / Creative Food Cycles / Chiara Farinea, Mohamad Atab, Federica Ciccone, Sotiria Sarri).

Any suggestions on how to improve my trial or what to do in general?

Thanks again!

Hello
I am not really sure what they did. Documentation here has no explanation

Here some trials if it can helps

I used a Noise, then transform the scalar to a vector field, then make simulation along field, suppress curves that are near each other, move then depending on the normalized length and noise scalar value. Then Dendro
