Hello I would like to create wind flow map as it is on attached images. I will use that kind of map to extract direction vectors and possibly also density of flow (if possible). I will use that data to rule my design of wine bottles wall - as seen on attached picture. My idea is to create somehow …

Now even with vector field smoothing and path curve smoothing… :smile: [image]

Hi @PetrVacek , The result of the script looks very good. I’m currently tryin to do the same, but it’s not working out quite well. Would you be so kind to share the script with us?

Thanks. I will try to search for the script as it’s been already a while ago. What do You use it for and how is Your approach so far? I am just curious.

Is this what you want field flow.gh (11.3 KB) [field] i used flowL

FlowL was not really matching my expectations so I wrote my own script that I share right now. There are many parameters influencing the result. What is needed is point field and ruling curves. Try to play with those parameters to get the best result. And please share to this topic so everyone can …

Thanks for sharing, nice work. [image] [image]

Hi @PetrVacek , thanks for sharing your python script any implementation for 3d analysis? how about taking the advantage of the Field Line by using custom fields, this is an old example from @DavidRutten , I don’t know if it is possible to work with a list of vectors like your code, It would be aweso…

yeah, I took that example mesh but the point of the discussion is to get field lines from a set of vectors as a guide (attractors, stress lines, whatever)

Nice colours. What does it represent? Some sort of “curvature”?
