Making A drill

[Teh_Demon]

I need to make a drill for my new project *see Bioshock Big daddy* but i have no clue how to make the spiral part on the drill... here is a pic so you can see what i'm needing.

Robert, stay with your original Big Daddy post, so it will all stay together. If you don't already have it, get the primitive plugin from: http://www.sgross.com/plugins/. With that you can make manny cool primitives including a spiral. Once you have the spiral, set your distortion box to 1-2-1 and then taper the spiral. With this path, you can use sweeper to sweep the spiral path to make the actual drill. I'll try to put a quick tut together.

 

Edit:

 

I'm Having a bit of trouble getting sweeper to behave the way I want, so I used "Duplicator." This little model was more involved than I thought. See the Pic here: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29373&hl=
