This Autodesk Maya 2008 plugin creates a new Maya node that gives the possibility to create a spiral/helix nurbs curve. The node has several attributes to control the shape of the spiral/helix. This attributes are:
- degree - controls the degree of the curve (linear or cubic). - radius - the spiral/helix radius (double value). - radiusStep - the increment/decrement value for the spiral/helix radius (double value). - steps - number of steps to build the spiral/helix (integer value). - angleStep - the increment/decrement value for the spiral/helix angle on each step (angle (degree/radian value). - depthStep - to increment/decrement the depth value on each step of the spiral/helix (double value).
To use this plugin you just have to load the plugin in Maya (from user interface of by command: "loadPlugin spiralCurve") and then, in Maya, run the command "spiralCurve"... and you will have a spiral/helix curve. I hope you enjoy using this plugin, and leave comments. You can find this and other plugins and scripts created by me here under "Author Files", and also on: https://www.3dhornet.eu
