Grasshopper newbie here looking for some help! I’m creating a flat speaker grill and want to play around with how the dots of the grill spread from the perimeter of my surface to the centre where the speaker is located
The ideal things to control would be
Centre curve (blue line - where the speaker is)
Outer boundary curve (green line - my surface edge)
Spacing of dots at the centre (within blue line)
Spacing of dots at the outer
Scale of dots at the centre
Scale of dots at the outer
How quickly the dots gradiate from dense to sparse
this has been done before and I believe it is done with circle packing!
Imagine loads of circles packed into that space. Smaller radii inside the blue line and gradually increasing as you move outwards.
Then put a dot at the centre of the circles!
You can do this with some tools in the Kangaroo plugin,
It has been done on this forum a lot if you search circle packing.
From the dots on a golf ball to dome structures and I’m pretty sure there was a speaker design.
Thanks for the idea! I’ve taken a look through though haven’t found one that has the function built in where you can play with the spacing and dot size, have you seen something that exists like that? Thanks again!
Hi @laurent_delrieu , thanks for this, looks perfect for what I’m after!
Bit of a novice with GH so excuse the ignorance but I’m struggling to get the function to work - I’m inputting my boundary curves to the two curves here, is that correct?
So many components are just there to just take into account the “bad” (for use in Tween Curve) curves . If the 2 curves are just scaled you could surely feed directly tween curve with them.
