Hi Matthias..
Ok..
I was thinking of the spheres would shape a 3D figure..
and if it would be possible to use Two images.. one Front Image/Texture as
you did.. and also one Side Image/Texture, this would make it intuitive to
do..
Harder with only one image. to control a 3d pattern of spheres..
Ah ok.. yep ideas can come from many places..
its fun to see something in Realife or in a photo.. and get inspired to make
some or all of it in 3D... !!!
yep.. its not fun at all to manually do things like this.. on tons of
objects.. =).. so one better invent cool ways like yours, to get by..!
Hehe yep.. testing how much and fast the comp can handle things can be fun..
I wish some of it would be faster.. it can be abit too long wait when
lattice mapping stuff.. =)..
Well the endresult in your anim.. was well worth it..
it turned out really well.. .it looks really cool..!

Hi Stefan,
the spheres values/colors are set with a greyscale
(not really, it's a RGB but all channels have the same value ;-)
Give it a try with a RGB image, all channels different/desired
values. Should do the trick, too.
Yep, you're right, it's a modified old prj.
While sitting together with a friend, I've seen on his
table a speaker with a perforation of hundreds of holes
with different size. The size variation was something like a simple
radial greyscale gradient .
That's where the idea comes from: to lazy to scale hundreds of spheres by
hand ;-)
The REAL SOFT was only an animation test, how fast my
machine computes things like this, same as the nailboard-test.

Hi Matthias..
This is cool stuff, if I am not totally wrong I have seen you done this
before..(or maybe it was the same prj..)
Thx for sharing this, it gives a nice and really cool result...
btw..
Just a thought..
Could it be made working in also the 3rd dimension.. with spheres in also
the 3rd dimension.. and use another texture from the side ?
So that both the Front Texture and the Side Texture contribute to the
result...(if you know what I mean..)
Each sphere gets the value of Front multiplied with Side value..
Thx in advance..
Take Care
