Thank you for the reply Gieljan. I am not succeeding in blending three ellipsoids together. Can you post a screenshot from Rhino please? I would be more than grateful for that.
Good! Yes I think I did joint them. But you can also bring them in, under one 'brep param' in grasshopper without joining them. It doens't matter I think. Unless you have further plans to modify these lines.. :) I also tried some other structures: see below
That was more complex, it was done in grasshopper, using the command: geodesic (under curve tab) It creates a geodesic line on the surface. You need to do a few things first.. 1: make a surface from the joint brep (with sections and then loft; you can't use geodesic with brep). 2: use the start and end points from the grid projected curves (project on srf).
Thank you for the reply Gieljan, But on your preview below, the gridshell version has a gradual distances between some geodesic curves. Distances are shrinking and the increasing. And in example from your last reply, the distances between all geodesic curves are the same?!
hmmm.. I have no idea because I don't understand how the function 'geodesic' works. I just use it :) but it seems that the more the surface is curved, the more variation there is. But both are made with the same script.. Maybe you should ask the codewriter/programmer ;)

Very nice.
How did you generate these ellipsoid shapes and connected them so smoothly?

The blob forming was done in rhino. I used the blend surface tool to generates the shape.
And grasshopper for projecting the grid onto the brep. It could also been done in rhino, but I hope it could be inspiring. have fun!

something like this I think. if you have further questions, maybe better by email: gieljan_vantyghem@hotmail.com
good luck

Understood, thank you.
You later used the "Project (project curve onto brep)" to project the lines onto this blended surfaces?
Did you joint the original ellipsoid parts with the blended connecting surfaces before that (before projecting curves onto them)?

Very nice!
And that fourth example - gridshell, how did you do it?
