quad surface - panel with junctions

Hi everybody,

I'm try to obtain this Tesselion : Adaptive Quadrilateral Flat Panelization . For me is difficult... I'm a newbye.. I attach my Working progress.

I started with the work of pqtool.ghx that I found kindly here http://rhinotuts.com/planar-quad-mesh-definition-for-grasshopper/ .

Could someone help me for find the right way?.

thanks a lot!

Your references show two different ways of paneling a freeform surface with planar quads.

Tesselion has individual planar quads arranged on the surface. You will see a bit of "fish scaling" at the corners as all the edges are not aligned.

PQ meshing involves routines to optimize a new approximation of the surface where all the quad edges match.

I would refer to the references cited in the source blog for PQ meshing:
