...in the 3Dcooat forums, so I came here instead. It wont let me create a post there.
Anyway, hi.
One thing I've been searching for, but have been unable to find is: how do I create a spiral without using the curves tool?
Posts usually end up talking about helical shapes instead of spirals.
I wanted to create a snail shell type of thing, but made of overlapping plates, with exposed 'bottom' edges flanged, but I can't even satisfactorily crate a spiral that allows so many of the initial model to be placed along it without them joining into one snake like object, which is what I get if I try curves, plus curves always leave me feeling that it's not good enough as we can't make perfectly circular curves which follow the rules of spirals.
So please, any help would be very welcome at this point. Spiral , snail shell, overlapping curved plates, not going to a find point in the centre, following more exact curves than twiddling around with curves tool.
