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.
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…
and for reference, initial work is from Herschel Shapiro
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

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.
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.

I use here one of my field component (Nautilus) but you can use whatever field you have
