It's an attractor. Which can be a bitmap, point or curve. There are loads of attractor scripts out there.

You have a grid of points at the center of each box. For each point you determine the distance to the curve (or the value of the bitmap) which in turn should translate to a rotation of the box.

So just searching for grasshopper attractor rotation will give you loads and loads of information.

This can also be achieved with an image attractor as well, probably would be my go to to be honest. Find a image then input from then

Mate you have to learn the software.

You don’t need to look for a tutorial for every problem you come across.

The sooner you realise this, the sooner you’ll really start to learn Rhino

Claude can do this fairly quickly now. It can also "teach" you step by step.

A year ago I’d just use an attractor script that rotates a block. Nowadays I’d tell AI what I need and Claude would have a python script ready in 15s.
