Hello


I would like to know if i can draw a closed curve then fill it with another object
these object should distribute randomly , no intersection , and in random scale to fill the closed curve with this object
this object can be circle square or start


The idea is to get something like the attached image


If you have a tutorial like which will help in doing this please give me the link


thank you

Dart throwing is the most straightforward but very slow algorithm.
Google “shape packing algorithm” There are tons of articles.

not necessarily nonintersecting, but here is an example

That's a great example Tomas, very cool!

Here is another method, using VDB to Spheres; it's not perfect, but it sorta works. If you have to do 3d Sphere packing, VDB to Spheres is super handy.
