There is a hex pattern on the grill. Used NodeEditor with a modified HexTesselation macro and James's FishEye Node. Not quite right on hole sizing.

A pannel of objects
ExplodeMove
Flow on half sphere ;)

I appreciate your help Pilou, but what if the objects get smaller in size like in the photo shonwn ?

Hi, first time I here about a hextessekation macro, can you tell me where I can find it ?

<<what if the objects get smaller in size like in the photo shonwn?

It works at any size! ;)

The different size smaller is not done by the perspective ?

Else not make an Half line of objects decreasing and an a circular array

@TOM - The HexTesselation macro is a part of the Elephant Node Editor. It is a macro that creates an array of hex objects.

My skills with advanced design graphics is limited. There are many here with talents that are remarkable. They are the ones that write the amazing routines. I just mix them together to see what happens and having fun at the same time.

Note: Is the spelling HexTesselation or HexTesselarion? The menu has one and the display cell header has the other spelling. Add it to the list..

Damned!

All that is not in the Native nodes, and in the extensions nodes repository by James!

so where is this other one ?

Right click the NE and two selections appear. Node and Macro. Click Macro and the macros appear. Another chapter for your elephant documentation.

yes but in Macro I have just Create & Import but nothing as existing menus!

Pilou,

I am looking for the source of the advanced macros. They might have been posted in a zip file at a moment in time from a developer and should be considered undocumented and experimental.

Wayne

Thanks by advance!

Noting that the r key is next to the t key on a keyboard:

After google search, Tesselarion appears to be a fairly common misspelling of tesselation :-)

Pilou,

The sub macros are on node files with sub macros. I copy them for later use.

Example:

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1537

triAxialWeaveSepColors.nod

has a sub macro 'offsetgrid.nod' that is also loaded.

I take the sub macros and copy them to my directory:
C:\Users\Wayne\AppData\Roaming\Moi\nodeeditor\macros

They are used later for different nodes and show up on the macro menu.
Just something I do for learning how things work.

A Doyle spiral, with P=14, Q = 28, deleting alternate rays, and reducing circle radii, seems to match the pattern of the grill.

My script/node is on hiatus, due to too much work :-)

Mobius transformation of hex grid might be worth a study...

Tom

I'm not sure that this is exactly what you wanted, but it may be a starting point.

PS >> "Tesselarion" <<

I think that spelling mistake is indeed due to my poor typing!

<< The sub macros are on node files with sub macros.

Yes I know that but it's more easy to have yet a little repository from someone like your!
If you have not defence secrecy inside of course! ;)

Ps @ James you have not the same gap between form! ;)

Dear gentlemen your tips are very much appreciated - thank you all !
Maybe the only solution will be a manual placement of each object
but I am experimenting with the tools you kindly presented.

Tom

If truly equi-spacing that is paramount, the holes must deviate from regular polygons, like so:



Here is .nod file for generating image above

Hope this helps

What an amazing node !! - and what kind of brain do you have to put this thing together ?!?!

The idea behind this pattern is for a 2dimensional piece of jewelry which creates the illusion
of 3diemensional space.

I used the nodebased shape to place and resize the singlegem- objects by hand.

Vasarely revival! :)

And another node inside the extention repository (not yet started) :)
