Question about merging a pattern onto a curved surface

[Jonghyuk_Park]

Hi, I’m trying to create a pavilion, and I’ve built both the overall surface form and the pattern I want to apply.

First, I tried using Surface Morph to project the pattern onto the main surface, but it didn’t work.
Then, I tried generating a grid directly on the curved surface, but that also failed because the circles didn’t align perfectly with each other on the curved surface.
Finally, I attempted to unroll the surface, create the pattern on the flattened version, and then project it back, but I couldn’t make that work either.

I’m a beginner learning through YouTube tutorials and ChatGPT, but I just can’t seem to figure it out. Is there anyone who could help me with this please?

Hi , I guess this approach helps you (Consider because we are working with solids in Sporph not curves , it’s gonna take a while until is loads when you open the file .)

@Ali_Najmaei

it’s gonna take a while until is loads

'love sporph though, makes the waiting worthwhile.

Similar {much slower} approach with ‘correct proportion’ (+ patience) in mind:

You might want to skip or reconsider the ‘frame’ idea so the overlap at the seam is refined.

Now that you have answers, don’t do it! just waiting for the thing to bake to get a screenshot to finish this post was painful enough! Or, maybe rework your pattern on the actual 3D surface from the start.

Aw, it looks really clean — but thinking about how long it must have taken, I can totally understand what you mean haha. Still, I’m really grateful!

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!
