help with similar-edge-length hexa-meshing (with the occasional penta/heptagon thrown in)

by Andrei Raducanu

Feb 22, 2014

Hey, guys, here is what i would like to do...

Reading this article of Daniel, i get that you can populate all sorts of freeform shapes with somewhat-regular hexagons as long as you throw in some pentagons and heptagons in critical places

What i would like to do is the following: starting from a nurbs surface, i would like to get a hexagonal grid pattern that follows the surface. I Would like the generated edges  to be as close in length as possible, while the surface can have pentagons/heptagons wherever necessary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for taking the time and have a nice one!
