Tutorial 6: Organic Erosion Vessel

Drive 3D value noise into Modulate Path to roughen a Circle in the normal or Z direction, then Layer Stacker for a column that looks eroded or weathered—a classic field → geometry pattern (compare to Grasshopper + Perlin on points).

What you'll learn

Noise Field sampling along the same path you modulate
Modulate Path with closed path and gain
Octaves and seed for different erosion character

Prerequisites

Tutorials 1 and 2; comfort with the Fields category

Step 1: Circle and noise

Step 1

Print Bed → Circle; path to Noise and Modulate

Build Print Bed → Circle as usual. Connect Circle path to Noise Field samples and to Modulate Path path. Connect Noise values → Modulate values. In Modulate Path, set Direction to Z (or try Normal (2D) for ribbing). Tune Gain and noise Frequency / Amplitude / Octaves.

Step 2: Stack

Step 2

Layer Stacker to Output

Connect Modulate Path path → Layer Stacker path, set layer count and height, then → Output Toolpath.

Outcome

A unique organic exterior every time you change seed or field strength.
