the first 2 examples could still be solved using paneling tool, or simpler even with FlowAlongSrf since they have a repetitive grid which seems only warped at the curvature which would happen naturally with flow or you tweak it in the input surface or objects.
here are some beginner tutorials suggested for paneling tools. and here a tutorial where the pattern sinks into the surface with paneling tools.
the 3rd image needs a very dynamic iterative solution which can only be done with grasshopper. but if you have a pattern which was generated somewhere else you can input this and use FlowAlongSrf again. this of course only works if you have one continuous surface.
last idea, for a quick and “dirty” job (depending on how you process it it can become pretty nice) you can also create a hightfield and flow this surface over another surface or you use ApplyDisplacement.
