We need the boundary (and it should be planar + rectangular) to stop the circles growing to infinity.

By increasing the radius the circles will grow and produce straight lines in the intersection. That is because the force of each circle is the same! The Next point about Voronoi is that we can give a number to the Radius and produce circles which collide with each other. If I move three points upwards you can see that the pattern doesn’t change. The next tip is that it’s best to keep the points in a plane. If I change the location of several points in the regualr grid, you can see the Voronoi cells emerge. If you give a regular grid of points to the tool you will end up with rectangles! The first tip about Voronoi is that the points should be randomly distributed. If you change the point’s location you will also see the cells change. I will explain why we need it!Īfter connecting the point and the boundary we will have the cells. After the point, you should give the Boundry a rectangle by using the curve tool (Params>geometry). You can go to Params>Geometry and choose “point” and then right click on it and select multiple points to set them. The next step is to give the Voroni tool a set of points. This tool will produce cells in 3d boxes and I will talk about it in another tutorial. Notice that there is a Voronoi 3D tool also. To start we can double click on the canvas and search for “vor”.
