Hi Liam,

Really nice pattern.
How do you want to distort the pattern?
Do you want to follow the mesh/surface?
What input would the control points of the mesh would have?

Cheers

I want to have the hexagon patterns to map to a surface then the control points(on the surface) to distort the pattern i already have. I'm not even sure if this is possible, I might have to start from the beginning of the definition and rewrite the logic. The problem is matching a surface's control points to a hexagons.

Hi Liam,

It is possible, Have a look at the enclosed this is similar to what you want!

I'll have a look at it later as I need to go out.

Cheers

I like the definition. For my own however, I was looking for a distortion similar to this.

Hi,

Please look at the enclosed, this can be a start. You need to rebuild the target surface and move its control points to change the pattern.
