Hi Everybody,

You have a grid and a sphere

You copy the sphere on the grid template using random values for the translation of the sphere so the copied spheres are not regularly spaced.

How would you create groups of 2 “nearest” copied spheres ?


Thanks in advance

Hi Julien,

you can identify the nearest meshes by combining the proximity node or pcfind function with the attribute sort and attribute promote nodes.
