[Solved] How to Paint a Nice Spiral effect ?

[blackant Master]

Hi,

I don't have the answer yet,

I would like to know if someone has already found a tip about this kind of painting?

My own Tips is to proceed in 2 main steps:

1. The first one is to use a material with a simple line effect as opacity map, and the object must be unwrapped as strip for best result:
   
2. If the lines are perfect the second step should work like this.
   Using the Line Tool, target a point from the lines marks in steps 1, at the extremity of the unwrapped mesh (seams).
   adjust your painting size and click on the  next line mark extremity using Texture Editor.
   Repeat the operation until the End, making the steps one by one.
   
3. The last step must be done manually because extremities of the mesh cannot use the same logic.
   Try to approach the maximum parallel line and cleanup manually use paint brush and erase Brush.
   

A This is the most fastest technic I fund to make this .

There is a spiral in Curves. It can be adapted to the surface. We'll have to tinker.
