Gene Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi All, Could anyone tell me if they have a good method of modeling a snail shell? I tried to use the extrude plugin, but you can't control the "tightness" of the spiral. Any ideas or examples? Thanks in advance.

Dearmad Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Did you extrude along a spline path you defined yourself? I'd try that way. Actually I wouldn't- I'd model it by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 I tried to extrude along a path and although the path is OK, you can't scale along the way... I guess I'll keep doing it the old fashioned way. Cheers, E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 9, 2004 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 9, 2004 I'm not sure what you're trying for... is it anything like this? This is done with the duplicator wizard rather than the extruder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearmad Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yeah I didn't want to say anything as I don't know with the latest AM versions, but the extrude tool doesn't have a scaler to it? Interesting since the duplicator wizard does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
