Here a script to make 3D Harmonograph. It follows a question from the old forum and this old thread.

That 2nd picture is great! Worth a gallery post and a bit more explanation!
Hello,
no problem for explanation. The only problem I see with this method is that there are so many coefficients that it i easy to not be able to do 2 times the same structures. So you must use “Save state” if a shape is cool.
So use this script, I save 2 states.

I generate this curve
The “thickness” is mainly given by the damping.
Then apply Dendro to the curve. The radius is divided by 3 for the voxel size.
No mesh adaptivity, I find it best for smoothing.
I baked (but can be done in Grasshopper)
Apply “QuadRemesh”, I made no change to the parameters
Then ToSubD (no change in paramtersĂ , some material, environment and you have an organic shape

Thanks. It looks great!
