Need guidance in creating vortex field

[Ali_Zain_Khuwaja]

I am getting familiar to grasshopper now and trying to achieve as shown in the reference image. However, I need support on two things:

1. How to divide for example a Hexagon further into hexagonal grid?
2. How to achieve this vortex effect? I tried using point attractor and moving the top points in x & y axis based on point attraction. However, I believe there would be a much better way to do this.

Thanks for help and guidance in advance.

P.S. I am attaching my script and reference image here.

I really like how @Ali_Najmaei managed to achieve this using only native components, that’s a clean and elegant approach.

If you’re okay with using Weaverbird, here’s another way to approach it. Weaverbird just helps generate the hexagonal grid inside the main hexagon, the vortex effect itself comes from using an attractor point to control the rotation and flow.

Thank you @Ali_Najmaei Its the easiest and clean one could do.

Thank you @Mahdiyar for your guidance using weaverbird plugin.

Is there any way that we could achieve it using vector fields? I mean using vectors - like a magnetic field of vectors? or any tutorial that uses vector fields to create patterns @Mahdiyar @Ali_Najmaei

Yes you can, if you have the position of the shape you can get the vector of the field with evaluate field, then apply the transformation. I use that here.

Help with Vector Field & Curves on Grasshopper

I’ve been trying to create some parametric art, inspired by Herschel Shapiro. Specifically, I’m trying to model something similar to his piece “Jagged Loop”, as seen here. I’ve linked two photos to my work that I’ve currently done below. I know that Herschel uses vector fields in Grasshopper to achieve the effect shown in his artwork. However, what I am unable to figure out is how exactly each of the spikes follows a curve instead of a straight vector. This is more clearly seen in his Wisp piec…

Hello You provide images but it is also good to provide some references and also some work from yourself ! the work you want to copy is from Herschel Shapiro https://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/HerschelShapiro?ref=nla_listing_details Here is a discussion on this subject, You’ll find many many scripts that will help you on this subject (attractor mainly). Try to focus on the hexagon junction system and a “simple” shape. When you will have solved this, the printing, the polishing, th…

And some script here, I use Vector Field and also a Scalar Field that is transformed to a Vector Field.

Scripting through field lines grasshopper

You can evaluate a 3d field along a line that start at each hexagon center, then move each hexagon using the field evaluated. then scale the hexagons and loft them.

Hello Laurent. Thank you for sharing the work. Its really good. I tried to use spin force and point charge fields but I am unable to convert those into 3D fields like this. How can I improve its output?

Hello

What have you as input parameters ? geometries ?

The output is quite clear.

But why using Field Line ? Do you want the field to align geometries or/and deform them ?

The vector Field you can use is there

A Vector Field allows you to have a vector at each point of space. Most of the time the vector change is continuous (no step change) but it isn’t mandatory.

I basically want to deform them based on field lines. Sorry I am new to this vector field thing like you did rain drops pattern or any field.
