Voronoi Algorithms on Curved Surfaces Attempts were made at producing voronoi algorithms on curved surfaces, yet, unlike the voronoi on flat surfaces that could easily be extruded vertically on their z-axes, curved surfaces had vectorial attributes that made it much more complex to imitate. Hence, we followed a definition that adopted a projection system. Instead of placing the points exactly on the voronoi, the points were projected from a flat plane onto the curved surfaces, and then extruded (as shown on all the figures above). Even though it appears to be an easy-to-achieve concept, the actual execution of the project was very complicated. The projection system, even though complicated, is definitely less complex than putting the points onto the curved surfaces directly. This system will be adopted for the gateway structure, as the structure is more likely to take on a curvilinear form instead of a linear one.
