Hi everyone, I’m trying to create a sphere like object like on the image below. I kinda can make an outline of a shape I want but no single node for solid work on it. shape.dyn (20.6 KB) [example]

There’s probably better choices when it comes to interactivity and use of access (my personal favorite is Blender with the subdivide&smooth modifier) , but you can definitely do this with Dynamo and T-Splines. Build yourself a little box rig and convert it to a Tspline like so: [o47lcHlDqu] Now you can generate all kinds of funky egg-shaped forms :slight_smile:

take a look here in one of the sample files of this package there’s what you want [image] DynaShape Share [DynaShape_Banner] [DynaShape 0.3.1] Requirements Dynamo 2.6 or newer MeshToolkit 3.0.0 package, which should be installed using the package manager inside Dynamo. You can do this AFTER installing DynaShape, but Dynamo needs to be restarted afterward. Download and Install DynaShape - Google Drive (latest version 0.7) Unzip the downloaded file to obtain the DynaShape folder Now copy the entire DynaShape folder and paste it into the Dynamo custom package directory. Restart Dyna… [image] photo from the mancave

Thank you, but I can’t really find any good tutorials on how to operate the nodes…

did you download the sample files? check those

Exactly what I need! Can you please share that sample? Or is it just a box of lines and that node?

@fluffyhugger You could also explore generating and transforming shapes with equations… [sphere] n = 11; x = Math.Sin(0..180..#n) *Math.Cos(0..360..#n); y = Math.Sin(0..180..#n) *Math.Sin(0..360..#n); z = Math.Cos(0..180..#n); //Sphere p1 = Point.ByCoordinates(x ,y ,z ); //Sphere Translated and Scaled along Z-Axis p2 = Point.ByCoordinates(x ,y ,((0.75+z)/(1.75..2..#n)) ); //Sphere Translated and Scaled along X-Axis p3 = Point.ByCoordinates(((x+0.75)*(1..3..#n)) ,y ,z );

@jacob.small @Vikram_Subbaiah @Dimitar_Venkov Thanks a lot! Topic can be closed now, my question is answered!

It was really just that one node. The rest was me adding 8 points and making a box of lines and there’s probably a million ways to do that.
