Hi all,
I have to create a Voronoi  model, tryed some consructions, but hell it's extreme time consuming and kinda seems not the right way. Somebody here has expirience or ideas  how to do it?

It might help those not familier with your subject to explain what it is? I've never heard of a 'Voronoi'...........;-)

Voronoi diagram or Dirichlet tesselation are a kind of decomposition of the metric space. Here is what I'm talking about, simple:)

You could try using one of Bryce's Voronoi noise functions as a height map for a terrain.
Terrain Editor -> Shift-Click on 'Pictures'
Shift-Click let's you access the DTE from the terrain editor.

This would only work for a diagram style model.

It's too early in the morning for me. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around getting  the percent of error in chaining a bunch of flat terrains into a circle figuring the total length  as oppsed to the length of a true circle of the same circumferance.   

simple ? ?

i meant a simple pattern example,not that it's simple at all...I've honestly forgotten the AG from the University time..shame on me..
...been there already ,most of the links doesn't work,the other are useless.
I need a dimensional structure,not a plane,that's the problem.

"Bryce's Voronoi noise functions ..."*

*O K...now I'm intrigued...how would one access this in the DTE my friend...does it have a name or something..I still find the DTE a wee bit confusing.. ,,,

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down

DTE = Deep Texture Editor. Here. If you are in the terrain editor and hold down the shift botton while clicking on pictures button, you can use any of the noises from the DTE as a component for the height map. It can be blended with any other kind of noise or image with the blending feature. Or painted over with brushes. Bryce has exceptional landscaping and very powerful noise generation functions.

Too cool...another trick I didn't know/couldn't remember if i ever did...thanx a bunch pal.. off to play around...answers Zemela's query quite well as well.. ...

These are the things that make Bryce such a great program. I have,nt been in the DTE for ages except to modify the odd texture or 2. I don't think  new-comers to Bryce realise what a powerful tool they have, and free or very cheap as well.

I love the DTE - if you don't know what you're doing in there - it's still possible to have fun just playing with the "randomise" buttons, but if you want to know more you might try Robin Wood's Tutorials on Bryce.

Click on "Intermediate Bryce Course" in the menu on the left, and scroll down to "Lesson 3: Demystifying the DTE"

I loved that one.

Huh??? It's late in the day and too late for me to be confused... What the heck are you babbling about, my dear???  Did they slip a liquid lobotomy in your coffee this morning? 

Just color me...

How is the old git? Tell him to write, will you, Bobby. I haven't heard from Paul for years.

what ya scribbling there Bryster? Nothing heretic I hope!!!

well,thank you for your time,special thanks to dvlenk6 for the hint,..   I suppose I'd ask the 3DSMAx guys...

You didn't say you had 3ds max at your disposal.
Try this:
Displace (modifier) a plane of sufficient number of length and width segments. Use a 'Cellular' map in the Map slot of the displacement. If you need to, you can copy the map (or drag it) into a 'dumby material' (one that isn't being used for any objects) map slot, so that you can adjust the cellular noise parameters.
After you displace the plane, leave the modifier stack uncollapsed; and add a lattice modifier to the top of the stack: 'struts only'; 'ignore hidden edges' and 'end caps' checked. Adjust strut radius as needed.
Is that anything like what you need?

EDIT- if it still seems too regular, put a noise modifier before the displacement, or use another seperate displacement modifier. That will jiggle the vertices around so the the lines aren't perfect squares when viewed from straight above or below.

I know there's a mat out there called Voroni Rust, have used it on occasion.

dvlenk6, are you sure its "hold down shift and click on the pictures tab" whilst in terrain editor?
I cant seem to get it to work. Its works with bryce 6 right??

I think that should be shift click on the Picture button in the Elevation tab.

Ok, will try that. Thanks!

This  is late and probably irrelevant at this point but I got to messing around with Rayraz's suggestion about using Mojoworld last night and came up with this image. The curve I used to remap the Voronoi so the edges are solid needs a lot of work and this is using  the Volumetric Surfaces plug not the standard planet extrusion. To bad this is not exportable...
