Voronoi Sphere

Hey Everyone!
Any ideas about creating a voronoi sphere? 2d is fine.

I was wondering if you know how to make this same structure, but instead of following a sphere, that it follows a surface through a set of curves..

Hi well I experimented a bit with your definition but i cant get it to work, well i dont have much experience with that voronoi component and i just dont know how to do any scripting at the moment, i'm fairly new at this, but the thing is that i really need to understand how it works and i'm not sure if you could explain?

Because i'm trying to to the same inside a polyhedron, and well i could really use your help because your definition is the closest thing i have seen to what i want so far.

Well i´ll add my current definition, thanks.

Try looking at this version, I can't remember what GH version it was written for:

Thanks taz tho... HEY...this is odd this discussion had far more entries by another user o.o they´re gone ah well, i took a pic of his reply, i actually replied to him, so i find it weird :p

So basically thats what i want to accomplish but inside all of my polyhedrons, but thanks taz, i´ll save that on my voronoi folder :p, I'm sure i´ll eventually use it one day anyway :p

Thanks

voronoi con el componente vb.net de vicente soler, con la definicion de taz usando facetdome y con voronoi usando solo componentes atraves de operaciones booleanas.

Here's one I created using this definition:

That was a definition I created rather quickly, and that's is when I first encountered the issue of "bunching" near the poles...

Random polar coordinates don't look random (for the above reasons from Mathworld) which you can also see from your screengrab.

sorry.. should have given credit there. I didn't realize that was your definition.

No problem, it's out there for everyone anyway.

Hi ALL

I'll share something I found, really cool, really complex and amazinfly beautiful and useful, for those who dare understand it. I know its high level maths, and unluckyly I can't understand the maths behind, but if some of you feel tempted to work with it and share results, would be amazing!!

Its an old mathematical issue solved 5 years ago in a catalan university (UPC)

feteke

Hope you like it....

"... in less than a day of calculation time,
we have obtained a good configuration for 50000 particles in the unit sphere without
using symmetry properties and with a conventional PC."

hum. And I was upset with 25 minutes.
