Really simple question about offset

How about using Polyline smoothing for this? It's more reliable than offsetting, which may always introduce kinks in the result.

And with a bit of extra work you can also centre the ovoid shapes on the voronoi centroid points.

Hi,

how do you obtain the result of the picture posted by Jay?

Don't know how that surface (mesh?) was made. I don't even know if it's a photograph or a rendering. If it's a photograph, I don't know how much manual labour went into the shape or to what extent the manufacturing process imposed characteristics on the final shape.

Yep that's where I got it from. After I finish this I want to try to make the Fibonacci spiral one.

Wow thanks David! This method is working a lot better than the one I was using. Do you have any suggestions on how to loft the voronoi segments and my nurbs curve? The image below is when I baked it into rhino and then lofted it there. I can't get my loft to work in grasshopper.
