Hexagon on a closed surface

Comment

The lines should be arranged in subsets of 3 hexagons, so when you feed them in lofting plugin it iterates through only 3 curves each time, lofting them individually. You have to arrange the structure of curves through grafting.

I did as your instruction that is " offset of the original surface..." , but I could not get the similar result. My questions: How did you loft those hexagons, using Rhino command to pick those guys one by on or Grasshopper-loft battery?  Thanks al lot.

I did exactly the intuitive. Took two offset surfaces and applied the hexagonal grid as you did trying to obtain a similar result. In your picture the sectional width between the two grids is variable if we consider just one hexagonal cell.

Besides you could do more with the patterns of Erwin Hauer and triply periodic minimal surfaces.
I'm trying to work with those. Your code gave me an idea.

For this one I used an offset of the original surface. The script is run on both surfaces and creates overlapping-offset hexagons that could be lofted to get 3d figures.

Thank you so much for sharing. I would like to know how can you perform double membranes using a more sophisticated pattern. The geometry seems quite interesting.

Samuel.

It's toon material in Vray for Rhino. adds lines to your base material.

Looks cool! How did you render it? I like the fine outlines....

Well,it's not complete yet. I need to clean the script. After that I can share it with you no problem.
