Hello. I would like to transfer this structure onto this Brep. What would be a viable approach? The characteristics of this structure that I want to achieve are the “brick-like” layout and the structural direction, which can match (not real, but hypothetical) UVs. The attached Brep is not the one I…

This is the intended use of Sporph, but that expects a single Surface, not a Brep with multiple surfaces. Your example brep can be rebuilt as a single surface though. The second issue is the rather extreme distortion that would be caused by the unequal lengths of the two U boundaries. To make a mor…

[image] Aaron_Borin: I already have something in mind, but first I’d like to challenge my assumptions with some fresh ideas. How can the ideas be ‘fresh’ if we don’t know your assumptions? Cool intention and fun problem—shouldn’t you first share what you have in mind, though? [image] Aar…

@Tom_Newsom Thank you for your insight on Sporph. The idea of using the trapezium as the source is brilliant, sometimes I struggle to unwrap a precise surface (and it’s not always worth it). Regarding the pattern, though I don’t want to achieve something too similar to a Voronoi layout, where the s…

[image] Aaron_Borin: Regarding the pattern, though I don’t want to achieve something too similar to a Voronoi layout, where the short vertical segments are not aligned with the Vs. That’s what I really like about the Plant Cells structure: it’s irregular but at the same time ordered (that’s why …

Dangling thoughts: You could also add a Fillet component for a more blob-like cell, but I don’t know how you’d go about making them tessellate properly. Feels like a hard problem with lots of horrible corner (hah) cases. The method would be something like: Find all non-overlapping straight-line se…

Thanks for the clarification(s), @Aaron_Borin I see what you’re doing. I like (and prefer) the isocurve approach. Tom’s approach is genius, don’t get me wrong, though I want to challenge relying on voronoi myself, because, well you know: [image] Haha :laughing:—jokes aside: I’m thinking your sy…

[image] René Corella: ime window soon, but in the meantime I suggest (and also invoke @Volker_Rakow ) varying the isocurve count, which isn’t immediately doable with the component itself, but Mr. Rakow has broken that paradigm here: Sad to say, but I… wouldn’t rely on my user object. I remembe…

I pressed the heart button but in reality it’s a broken heart. [image] Volker Rakow: I should probably delete the thread. What. Don’t? Why? Maybe you should challenge your assumptions like Aaron did :winking_face_with_tongue: Thanks for notifying and (hopefully) for not giving up :+1: *Ed…

Here’s my attempt at making cells like the @Aaron_Borin ’s original reference [image] My script is built off of @Tom_Newsom ’s voronoi studies, just with a different way of controlling the ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’ variation with the point cloud input for the voronoi pattern. [image] [image] …

That is some seriously impressive data wrangling - bravo :clap:
