Arraying an Object Uniformly on to a Curved surface

Hi All,

I am new to Grasshopper but I have picked up some basics. I would like to create uniform "bristles" on a curved surface as per the example1 attached.

From my research what I think I need to do is a put a "rectangular grid" on to the surface and Orient the objects (bristles) onto the the grid but easier said than done!

Any suggestions would be very much welcome.

Thank you

Hi,

Hope it is of some help. And your base geometry is a polysurface, so I've replaced with another single surface for convenience' sake. Best.

Wow thank you for this! I'm glad I asked for help now as I don't think I would have figured this out on my own! Will learn grasshopper for sure, It looks really powerful.

Thanks again!
