How can I make this voronoi texture more spherical?

[atmandace]

Hello everyone!

So I’m trying to make this texture on a cylinder

So far what I’ve achieved is the below

I did this using a populate geometry and a 3d voronoi then getting the center of each voronoi face and creating sphere at those points. Finally I get the difference between the cylinder and the spheres. If you guys have a better way of doing (since the process of creating spheres at the points take quite a while) this would also love to know about them.

I have 2 more things I would like to achieve.

1. Make the texture more spherical like the reference
2. Get the edges of the textures to be more rounded also like the reference.

Note: I’m using Mac so a lot of plugins are not supported. I only have WB and K2 so I would greatly appreciate if you can give me a solution using only those plugins.

Try this:

hexagons_subd_inset.gh (6.7 KB)
it uses the same script I posted here

Hey! Thank you so much for this really appreciate although this addresses both of my request but it makes the texture lose the hollow sphere. Not sure if I’m making sense but have a look here at this quick drawing of the side view of the texture.

The script you shared looks more like the one on the right. I want to maintain the inside curve of the texture.

Also is there a way I can add more variety in terms of size?

Did you try script in theses links ? I understand that you don’t want plugin in that case you will have to do the plugin by yourself, because some of the plugin are hard to replace

Hammered Surface Texture - Reduce Depth/Seamless Join

Hello World, I am struggling to reduce the depth of the hammered texture once I use the surface morph to wrap the dimpled texture around my target surface. I am trying to figure out how to make the dimples on the surface shallower and then have them join so it is as close to seamless as possible, but I am stuck at this point. Any suggestions would be a huge help! [Screen Shot 2020-01-26 at 3.34.16 PM] Hammered Texture_Troubleshoot.gh (20.7 KB)

Hello it is now a recurrent question and it is quite strange you didn’t find some already published solutions. Keywords for a search are certainly not quite intuitive so or here are some others links. You will understand that hammered is probably a good keyword to begin with. and the best

Final Baking and Union Difficulties

Here is a solution with Mesh instead of Brep, there is a button in Red Group to test it and go fast, after that you can take the full brep.

Hammered wedding band

This kind of hammered look [textured ring] is something I used to do in wax or direct to metal. I know others have used the " *Heightfield" command to do this. I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully, to do it with “Displacement” after watching Brian James video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zcl6zccz9o ) as a better way. Might there be a better way to accomplish something so fractal with more control then Heightfield? Maybe with Grasshopper? If yes, can someone point me to the right components?

3D Hammered texture, solid union error

[Hammered%20Texture]VoroniHammerTexture02.gh (8.4 KB) Hi all, I’m a complete beginner in grasshopper but I made this file to try and recreate a hammered texture across a 2m by 1m sheet, when I use less points and larger radius it works ok, but when I put the sphere radius to 15 (as I want it) and the number of points to 40,000 (a lot I know) the solid union has an error (Boolean union set is empty). If anyone has any ideas on how to fix it that would be fantastic. Thanks!

Grasshopper Voronoi rounded surfaces

Hello, I am currently trying to make a surface in rhino using grasshopper. The result I am trying to achieve is this image. [2020-10-19 13.55.34] I am currently using this grasshopper setup: [grasshopper] And by using that i created this: [rhino] The problem I am facing is that I am trying to curve the edges between the vonoroi pattern. This is what I have at the moment: [close up] But I want the edges to curve the other way around like this: (This way it is a smooth transition) […
