Hi there. I have been using Rhino for the last couple of years at uni but I am very new to Grasshopper. Firstly WOW I think I am going to love this once I get the hang of it, but right now I am under really intense time constraints with a art project I am building for the New Zealand regional burningman event.
I am building an art-car from woven bamboo that is styled to look like an angler fish.
For the esca (fish light) I want to build a 3d printed zeotrope that is lit internally from an array of leds.
I am sorry if this is too much background info but I hope it will be interesting to you.
The part I need help with is learning how to make a spiral array on the surface of the sphere.
I want it to mimic the forms found in nature where each consecutive petal is rotated and slightly larger.
I have done some of this in directly Rhino but it becomes an absurd number of operations to build such forms.
I have also found and followed some tutorials on producing flat flower forms but am having trouble applying this to a sphere.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Nicholas Lealand.

Can you may post some images of your experiments in Rhino. I have some idea what your trying to do but its easier to develop a script in GH if you have some rules set out to work/model from.
And here is the other way IF the 146 things that you’ve received were … er … used. BTW: Indeed I had to inject antibiotic to that cat meaning that you should call after a couple of minutes…
don’t you know? he sacrifices kittens to the beast in order to gain knowledge!
hahaha just joking! the comment was directed to me because a call we had was interrupted by a kitten that had to be vaccinated.
Very imaginative!
It would be nice for this forum to post challenges like this one, every once in a while to see all the different approaches people come up with to solve a problem!
