Close-packing of equal spheres


Recommended Posts

i hardly try to make a 3D point grid for Close-packing of equal spheres. Like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres i tried it with the "grid" node and and the point frome volume" node, but no chance. I didn't get it. Each level is offset by one point - something like triangle shaped. every second level should be the same. Does anybody have an idea, or script? thanks

well hey...i just did a quick and dirty test

01) box

02) points from vol>tetrahedral

03) copytopoints a sphere....just works

naturally you have to control the sphere radius with the point separation...but well...I did bugger all work there...the pointsfromvol did it all.

(point sep should be 2 x radius...done)

laziest piece of work I've ever done:
