[Geometry Nodes and Circular Filling]

forgive me...I got it to open on 2017

 

cheers!

Thanks DomC!

This looks promising. I tried opening your attached file "circle stacking.vwx", but it won't open in 16 or 17. It may have gotten corrupted. Can you please resend?

 

Thanks again!

Wow...this is amazing work DomC!

I am just getting acquainted with Marionette, and am wondering if I can apply something similar to what you've done to the following problem:

 

I want to create a field of tightly packed circles, that grows in concentric rings, and is controlled by a bounding cirlce (or radius). The bounding circle functions through a series of fixed (seemingly random) radius lengths, each one representing the precise size when you can fit the next "ring" of circles within its boundary. In the following screen shots, n = number of total "rings" that constitute the overall field of packed circles. From one ring to the next, the field always grows in increments representing multiples of 6. I've shown examples up to the 20th ring, which happens to be the first ring where 18 new circles are added. At 20 rings out, the field contain 187 packed circles (counting circle "0" at the origin).

 

I'd love to turn this into a marionette tool, complete with a I.D. record for each circle so that an accompanying worksheet can be created. Do you think it's possible?

 

Thanks for any input!

[Improvement to Grid Bubble Tool]

I apologize if this was already mentioned, but I didn't see it. Is there really NO way to control dimension precision through the Grid tool? There doesn't seem to be. If this doesn't exist, please add to wish list as well.

 

Thanks,
Matt
