Thanks Marco,

Here's another example also done with NE, including a series of tests
that measures the areas of each facet with info/stlarea node
and comparing the resultant areas with logic/compare node
assigns colours according to facet size with logic/split node.

Have a great weekend my friend,
James

Hi James,

very nice and and interesting idea to do it with NE.

Stefan

Excellent thread Stefan and many amazing images!

Voronoi pattern Flowed to a Sphere and Tube.

Thickened, distorted, textured and rendered in modo.

Hi James and danperk,

very nicely done!

Speeky indeed!
Remind me this one with Max Plugin ;)

Yes Pilou,

You're right, similar result achieved simply with Max's plugins,
or could alternatively, with SpherePts node in NE.

However, the point of the exercise was to use a spherized cube as the base surface.
Perhaps this one illustrate it better

Enjoy your weekend,
James



UPDATED:

revised nod file containing quadSphere macro (in red) that may be useful for other applications.
