Create a material with accompanying vectorial fill of a pattern that will suit close to what you need. The material will need a png image attached, which will have coloured transparent circles to represent the bottle ends. Apply this material to your walls.<BR /> <BR /> 2. Use circular beams (complex profile) with different coloured transparent surfaces, and a material with a higher intersection priority than your walls. Model each bottle in place. The beams should automatically cut the walls.<BR /> <BR /> 3. Use Rhino and Grasshopper to do something funky.<BR /> <BR /> There could be other methods, but this is a start.
