I’ve been involved in and heavily inspired by some of the stuff going on in Out of the Box lately, mainly involving spirals of sorts and the True Bend extension.
Although Spirix is more than capable, I thought I’d attempt a 360 deg helix with the “True Bend” and Curve Maker" extensions to see how that panned out. The main difficulty I had were getting the ends to align with Follow Me. I couldn’t get a perfect result whichever way I seemed to try and ended up manually fixing the join using the Line tool and softening the edges.
It was only fractionally out and I suppose you would never notice without having a really close look. Things like that do bug me though, I’ve attached a file with an explanation for anyone that’s interested or has any thoughts…
