Hey Frank,

This is amazing! i'm trying to do a similar thing to a relaxed mesh that has center point circles and are extruded, both diameter and extrusion length relate to the distance from two attractors, next thing i plan to do have them bend towards the attractors. I see we are not able to post definitions here. If i am able to send them too you do you think you could have a look at it? Heres an image of the attractor and circle part

Cheers!

I put the definition on the wall on my profile page.

Hi Dominique!

All the curves are created as CV curves, 3 points for each one. The fisrt point is directly on the surface, the second point is a copy of the first one moved along the local normal vector of the surface (to make sure that each curve leaves the surface in a 90 degree angle). The third point is the one that gets pulled by the attractor point.

If you are interrested I can send you the files. Seems like I cannot post them here in a comment...

Beautiful. I'm fairly new to grasshopper and I'm trying to achieve a similar effect, but I'm stuck at getting the curves to bend towards the attractor point... any tips?
