Dividing surface w/ different sized cells

Hey All,

I am incredibly new to grasshopper (about 1 day in) and I am trying to utilize it for my final undergraduate project. I currently have a surface split, offset and lofted. However, I am striving for the actual division of the surface to differ in cell size (some cells can be larger than others, maybe a gradient if possible). I have tried to supply a random number generator to the U and V in divide- but this seems illogical and does not work.

The endgame for this project is to use the firefly plug in along with arduino and some potentiometers to control the distances of the offset (which will vary from block to block hopefully). Thanks for all of your help,

Chris

Here is a quick rendering that might help, Thanks again

I dont know why I allways end with regular solutions, but sometimes they work, lol. To the point

I remember a plugin called "point set reconstruction tool" free to download that might help

Another way might be to divide the surface into quads (much more that the number you want) and find a way for joining them separately... but that seems to boring... maybe you shold try QuadTree algorithms...

Sure the smart guys have better solutions :)

Cheers...
