> Hi @BrokenCode, I’m not really familiar with Lee Byron’s “mesh” library but here is my two cents: getRegions() only work with Voronoi objects the “Triangulate” library seems more appropriate in your case You just need to: download it [here](http://n.clavaud.free.fr/processing/triangulate/triangulate-20100628.zip) import it in your sketch In setup() put all the points (PVector) you want to triangulate in an array list (let’s call it plist) call the triangulate method on that list: -\> triangles = Triangulate.triangulate(plist) display the triangles wi…

The key method is to use triangulate to get a list of triangles that you can iterate over. Then you just need to store one color per triangle, and you can change the color list to animate your rendering of the mesh.
