That is a great tip, James.

I am attaching what I do in Cinema 4D and importing the result as *.obj in MOI.
And what I would obviously do in MOI, if I would know, how to :-)

In Cinema I can subdivide a basic icosahedron as shown. And there is great
cloner tool from which I diplayed its basic properties

Maybe Copy to Point after Selected Target...

Look also Dispersion by Max Smirnov

Hi Pilou.
I tried out copytopoint and had not found time yet to look at diepersion
what I will do today !

Thanks Pilou.

Regarding dispersion by Max:
The recently added methods for dropping points on surfaces, and getting surface normals, etc.,
should open up some more possibilities.

Tom,

OK so now I understand what you meant earlier:



In NodeEditor, you can subdivide icosahedron (2 subdivides shown) and attach cylinders to vertices:


The .nod file is attached....however you will need current NE mod nodes, found here:

Hope this helps

Hi James, you are amazing ! I really have respect for those
who have mastered the art of advanced nodology. The more
I dig into the Icosahedron the more I am fascinated by its
geometrical properties ...
