Hi everyone!

I’m trying to recreate the shape in the image below. Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach it?
Also, I’d like to animate it so that the individual “bubbles” slowly move across the surface, collide, and rearrange themselves - like liquid droplets.

Thanks in advance!

I looked a bit into sphere packing recently and this tutorial helped me quite a bit :

Obviously you’ll have to fiddle a bit with the technique and adapt it to your case !

Have fun !
