Obviously you can skip the creation part and instruct GH to deal with instance definitions already listed in the Block Manager (say: find the block named "cell666_B3" blah, blah) ... but that means that you can only use them (meaning a rather "limited" parametric approach) and not make them from scratch (meaning a true parametric approach).
But I guess that you've tried the block way in the Rhino environment already. That said I use rather solely this approach in GH and yields quite manageable object collections - I would say "real-time" response (up to 20K instances) but I use dedicated Xeon E5 1630 V3 workstations (with NVida Quadros K4200 and up for the graphic response part of the equation) so the "performance" is rather a subjective thing.
Modifications:
easily doable with GH (on instance definitions at placing time: since you need only to scale them and not vary their topology).
Anyway post a portion of the R file.…
FORE MeshMachine (rather better) or after
BTW: For a mesh with 7M points ... well... you'll need some proper CPU to deal in a reasonable amount of time (what about a Xeon E5 1630 V3?).
Alternatively find a friend who knows very well Modo ... and see first hand what the US Movie Industry is all about.…

I experimented with many different texture effects. In the end I decided i liked the idea of the outer surface being eroded smooth. With the articulate texture protected within folds.

ase to give the same result using a graph mapper with a parabola as in the attached file
Unfortunately it never gave the same result ..... is it a mistake in the book ?!…
nologically label them (there are currently 65 points and this is labelled as in the file i've attached). However, what i'm actually after is to reformat these points into an x and y style grid.(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5)(b1, b2, b3, b4, b5)(c1, c2, c3, c4, c5)(d1, d2, d3, d4, d5) etc.Any ideas/help how this can be made possible would be great.Thanks in advance…
, a1200)}) Is there any way I can make this list into {a1, a2, a3, a4, -a5, -a6, -a7, -a8, a9, a10, a11, a12, -a13, ..... , a1200} ? ( 4 positive signs then 4 negative signs and so on) - alternating every nth in general.

2. Is there any way (workaround) to get negative angle value from 2 vectors? I know 'ANGLE (of 2 vectors)' component by itself doesn't work and I know why too. I have feeling that the reflex angle output might be useful but again, matter of list manipulation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

moved by random amounts in a random direction. The animated slider was the amount of deviation from the original points. And yes, I used culled lists.B.t.w. did you find my workaround for your loft? Did your notebook explode? ;)…
