When we received an E-Mail by Eduard, asking if we had any idea about disco ball packing, we were intrigued. Eduard pointed out that his (apparently very patient) wife manually tiled this sculpture (http://www.tsiban.com/giselle) and was wondering if there’s any way to automate it. He also pointed to these examples where a skull had been turned into a disco ball (https://www.discoskulls.com/) or this sculpture of a horse covered in keycaps by Babis Cloud: https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/10/a-horse-made-of-computer-keys-by-babis-cloud/
What we came up with (and deem a pragmatic method of achieving a tiling similar to those examples) is based on one particular node in SideFX’s brilliant Labs toolkit – and works without the need to run any simulations!

Be warned though, we’ll be doing our fair bit of (not too complicated) VEX in this one.

我们想到的结果（并认为是一种类似于这些示例的实用的平铺方法）基于SideFX出色的Labs工具包中的一个特定节点–无需运行任何模拟即可工作！

请注意，我们将在此过程中进行相当多的（不太复杂的）VEX。
