Hi Imran,

Those kinds of Fibonacci/Phylotaxis patterns are always lovely. I searched this morning to get this done without formulas. Here you go:

It depends on how close you need to get to them with the camera. If they are the “main-actor”, then have a look at this file: (screenshot; project file
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/8CEAFbKlxF7SnCL6r6SEODPBD4ar20oBKuljr1kmiTD

I use MoGraph first, then the Volume options.

If they are just somewhere in the image, and “supporting-actors”, then they might be better done with a simple shape and a material that uses a specific texture to utilize the Alpha channel to create the idea of holes. The Texture can be produced from the file above.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers

P.S.S.: of course, I wanted to find the fastest modeling workflow for this in polygons. For now, this is my favorite. I have the feeling there is maybe something faster. We will see…

This is based on a small element, which is progressively cloned. This also means, and adjustment to the hole is a one-time adjustment.

And a larger one, just on case (screen shot and project file):

This one has a Pose Morph which allows to adjust the hole-shape. Try values between -150% to 150%.

P.S.: Here is a “Grill-Disc” Maker.

Screenshot, Screen Capture, Project file.
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/WsLyDvIrNEo1l81TMzYHpt9ZkCI52fHUUbgKFip1roo

Set up the disc with the needed holes, then use the Current State To Object (preferable from the Connect Object), and scale it to get the required size.

ENJOY
