"Random" Grouping of Triangles from Grid on Surface

[Dominic_Large]

Hello,

After creating a grid of triangles (on a plane or on a surface) I need to ‘randomly’ group triangles as shown below. So triangles would remain either a single triangle or grouped into 3 triangles to create a trapezoid

Thanks

To be more specific, I am trying to re-create the ‘first’ layer of panels on the Puzzle Ball Theatre facade shown below.

Hi, you can try to play around with Ivy plugin (at least for mesh clustering part)

Hello
you’ll have certainly to make your custom tool to do that.
With my plugin Nautilus I can get that

or that

Hello, is there a way to make the first pattern image you have attached on a flat rectangle/square surface and not a sphere? @laurent_delrieu

Hellok
Yes it is possible but it must be a mesh.

This works perfect! Is there a way to randomize it less, making it more regular?

Hello I am not sure it will work. You can use more regular seed points.
Also I have another clustering tool that makes cluster quite convex then tries to expand branches.
Stripper vould surely also be used…
