Can someone please tell me how to do this kind of structure?

Quite probably this is some sort of “variation” of that thing (i.e. a Recursive “random 3d grid node connection” under some rules - meaning that if you change the rules you’'ll get an other result):

That said I’m not in the Art market sector (so I did that for entirely different purposes) . It’s most unlikely that you can do it without code (Required level: mid to advanced). If by accident you are in the C# bandwagon … I could provide some indicative hints.

You could use surely discrete fields and aggregation fro WASP

> **[Discrete Vectors](https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/discrete-vectors)**
>
> Components for making discrete vectors out of continuous or random vectors. Good for turning swarms & curves into discrete straight line segments.

> **[Wasp](https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/wasp)**
>
> Open-source combinatorial toolkit for discrete design. Offers tools to quickly generate geometry- and data-driven aggregations of generic parts.

> It is also possible to play with field, and make fields that just generate fields with 45° angle step. here one done with Perlin Noise and direction forced to go to the right. I used that, then transformed in GH\_Field component. [noise] See also Entagma video [[image] ](https://vimeo.com/190359746)
