Warping 3D Grid / Spaceframe ?

Hey,

Newbie. Is there a way to use distance logic to create a spaceframe that could be warped?

I'm looking to create a Spaceframe structure (3d grid) that is able to be adjust for density (attractor point), remove points in the grid to create cavities, etc.

----------------------------------------------

I created a conceptual video demonstrating this:

^I was using strictly a plugin for Adobe After Effects that was taking my OBJ point grid, and I could easily dictate:

1. the number of connections (lines) for each point 
2. the minimum and maximum distance that it "searched" to connect points, easily facilitating the grid "pattern" by distance, rather than list logic
3. ability to "warp" the grid by adding noise at certain points

It seems easy to create the 2d grid of points. But not so easy connecting them by distance? or "nearest x" and "nearest y" value in a 3d manner. 

I've looked at

• FormulaArch's Grid Pinching and Pulling definition: http://formularch.blogspot.com/2012/05/gh-grid-pinching.html

• Spaceframe using offset surface in Z direction, creating surface UV grid, connecting the UV points, and adjusting the connections based on lists, but once again gets messed up when list is adjusted

Neither of these work perfectly when creating a complex 3D grid of points.

Any Ideas? Maybe Kangaroo is the best approach to warp the grid?
