Hi Michael,

 

I am actually intrested in the bubbles not the Voronoi.

oh, then use inflation forces in kangaroo to inflate the voronoi faces to get the bubble look. http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/kangaroo-pressure-force

It is actually  inspired by Weaire-Phelan structure (a "crystalline" structure made of 2 sorts of blablablahedrons), which is regular and not really a Voronoi, but you can get similar results with the links Michael suggested, choosing points wisely.
