Tissue

Tissue is a computational design addon that comes bundled with Blender. It allows designers to create tessellations easily with a base mesh and a component. The relationship is parametric, meaning that if either the component or the base mesh change, the tessellation can be refreshed to show the updates.

Tissue is being developed by Alessandro Zomparelli, who is a computational designer and an academic who teaches in various universities and workshops throughout the world. The best way to get familiar with what Tissue is capable of is to watch Alessandro's presentation from the 2019 Blender conference here: https://youtu.be/pVNYyJeLGZI.
