Populate points according to colored mesh

[laurent_delrieu]

Hello
you already asked a similar question.

Point density from a coloured mesh

As a color is 3 values you must define a distance. For example brightness … Here a simple way to populate depending on height [image] You could also use that

I think you like complexity so you don’t manage to make what you want. I am not used with solar radiation but I think the output is not a Color but a value in an interval. The gradient representation is just a way to represent the radiation, temperature or whatever. So why not outputting a single value represented by a grey value !!! The grey is far simplier to use.

Point density from a coloured mesh

Here is a solution, as I have not searched for the equation on the gradient, here is a way that will work if you stay in Grasshopper Gradient.It uses the fact that Color is transformed to point in Grasshopper, points that are in a cube from {-1,-1,-1} to {1,1,1} I put a Graph Mapper in order for you to tune the density of points.
