Hi there,

I'm trying to fill an object with cubes of different sizes. I've managed to do an approximation of what I want, but since i used the UV layout, it only works in a 2D projection. I'm looking to have the same effect but filling an entire volume, not just a projection. I've attached two examples. I wanted to apply this to, for example, the entire pig head, not just a sideways sillouette. Does anyone know a way this can be done?

Hi,

This is the simplest way I can think of, using vdb to spheres. it only more or less works for cubes so if you want something different you will have to do some post processing.

Cheers,
