Hi aRtye, thanks for your reply
The original mesh is a plain sphere, the processed mesh(topology-hive) was automatically generated by 3ds Max's topology tool.
The tool can apply a topology pattern over the entire surface of a mesh, as shown in this video ->

I have no idea what tool or technique a proficient Houdini user usually use to change a mesh's topology to a certain pattern?
Recently I tried to make a Voronoi pattern by using Scatter + VoronoiFracture + Fuse, it seems to be okay…but I am not sure if there's any tool and trick I've been missing? I'm still quite new to Houdini, lots to learn
