Hi, grasshopper newbie question. I have been playing around with 2D Hexagon and Polygon Patterns. Is it possible to create a grid of 2D hexagons with each scaling via non uniform vertices? My thinking is that I could then control these via a series of attractor points. See attached image of the ki…

Maybe something like this? [image] or these two [image] [image]

[missing] How about updating to Kangaroo 2.0, which was released 4+ years ago? Works great in R5: [image] Kangaroo Physics Kangaroo is a Live Physics engine for interactive simulation, form-finding, optimisation and constraint solving.

My mistake, I thought I was using K2. K1 still works great Also, I’ve forgotten how to do springs from lines in K2

Thanks for the great suggestions guys. Set me off in the right direction. Cheers Conor

So have I, could anyone weigh in on updating this to K2? Trying to create a similar effect as this mushroom, the definition @martynjhogg posted is close but the geometry in K2 would be easier to control. [Screen Shot 2022-10-13 at 11.10.31 AM] EDIT: Sorry for the necro post, this seemed more rel…

A different way to approach this could be as a mapping challenge - So generate an isotropic hexagonal pattern, then make a pair of surfaces and adjust the isocurve spacing to the nonlinear one you want [image] sporph_pattern.gh (14.8 KB)

Thank you, that is very helpful. Is it possible to change the hierarchal direction on the mapping method? On the mushroom the cells are large in the center and fan out to small. That sort of focal point is what I am after, thought maybe a variation of the Springs would work. I was trying a Project …

Regarding the Kangaroo springs, what is the best way to recover/reform the hexagons into closed polylines after Kangaroo deformation? After you’ve removed the duplicate lines that originally joined them? Joint curve has understandably chaotic results.
