BGD Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi, In this water feature, I have tried to make two helix spirals. But I dont know how to join them? Is there a simpler wayto make spherical spiral? Quote Link to comment

BGD Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 OMG! You have made it look so simple. I was trying for almost half of the day yesterday, just learning to build Helix... This is amazing. Can you please explain the steps you followed, so that I can learn how to go about such 3D modelling. Also, I dont know which version is the file in, but cant open it. I use VW 2019. Thank you so much for help. Really appreciate it. Any suggestion on good tutorial on how to use these spiral tools? I looked on youtube, but nothing explains in detail. Thanks once again Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Kevin McAllister Posted April 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2021 Here's a VW 2019 version of the file. It contains both water features on separate layers. I'll try and find time later today to detail the steps. I started with one helix surface as a base and worked from there. The helix surface was derived from two Extrude Along Path helix spirals and a sphere converted to NURBS. KM Spiral Water Feature v2019.vwx 7 Quote Link to comment
