Growing Neural Gas

The Growing Neural Gas theory was developed in the 90s and it's partially inspired by the characteristics of a natural gas, and partially by the working of neural networks (in particular by the self-organising ones). Once a shape has been defined and two starting gas "particles" have been given, the gas will expand in the shape in a uniform way, creating a grating of particles. Here you can some videos showing simulation for three default shapes.
