The aim of the exercise is to transform a basic sphere into different shapes and be control by parameters. The result is group of planes that can be arranged into four different configurations.

The first one creates different shapes depending on the number of arrayed sphere’s meridians. The second one cut the lofted planes from the bottom to the top, creating different patterns of color gradient. The third one rotates all the elements in a YZ plane. The fourth one set all the planes to move away from a point.
