The Pufferfish is one of few animals which is capable of changing its shape.
This plugin is a set of 330 components which focuses on Tweens, Blends, Morphs, Averages, Transformations, & Interpolations - essentially Shape Changing. Pufferfish mainly uses parameters and factors for inputs for more custom control over operations like tweens and grids as opposed to grasshoppers usual division count inputs. These components are accompanied by support components which are useful methods for tween / blend / morph / lattice operations such as making curves compatible, a custom curve graph mapper, and a multi-threaded morph to twisted box. In addition, there are extra components which simplify some common grasshopper operations such as testing for equality within a tolerance and rounding to nearest numbers. Please email me if you find any bugs. Works with Grasshopper for Rhino 5, Rhino 6, Rhino 7 WIP, and Rhino Mac.
I'm very new to the software.I have been trying to recreate the grid tearing effect I found on one of Michael's old videos (image attached). As it has no audio I have been watching the video slowly and trying to follow it - I've installed weaverbird in order to do it. However, there are some components which I simply cannot work out, maybe because it's quite an old video. I have searched the web for an explanation of this particular example, and only found another blog post which was unfortunately too old and is now a broken link. I gathered that due to pufferfish's capability and it being Michael's video this would be a good place to ask.
Would anyone be able to help in trying to achieve this? If the script already exists that would be obviously fantastic and greatly appreciated. But a tutorial or instructions of some sort would be helpful too. It'd be better if any tutorials had voiceovers or not be in code as I have dyscalculia (I know, why am I on grasshopper! but the component icons make computational design more accessible). However, I just want to achieve this grid tear effect but using my own grid and curves so any help is greatly appreciated.

Grid Tearing

Hello everyone, hope you're all good!
I'm very new to the software.I have been trying to recreate the grid tearing effect I found on one of Michael's old videos (image attached).
