Hi! I’m trying to recreate this effect in grasshopper and it’s been giving me trouble. I have used a variety of strategies including attractor point stuff, magnetic fields, and scaling via bounds, remapping numbers, and construct domain. Basically, I’d like to generate tiles that respond to points …

Hi! Perhaps the deformation was not effect of the field on the squares, but on the vertices that form the square. That is, the field moves the vertices (deconstruct BREP?) on the square, thereby changing the shape of the square Also, is anyone else’s ‘brep’ getting auto-corrected to ‘prep’?

That is a great idea! Thank you. @Gears_Gears Here’s what I tried from there. [image] Do you have any tips on streamlining connecting all those points into individual polylines? [image]

Perhaps the following: 1 make squares 2 for each square: (implement the ‘for-each’ part by using Graft, so that each square is in their own tree branch) deconstruct brep to extract points use your tool to move the vertices get polyline from points, or some other way to get a four-sided shape fr…

Awesome! I ended up using this [image] [tiles effect] Thanks for the help
