Spiral

Procedural Modelling / Look Development

 TECHNICAL BREAKDOWN


Part 01: Modify the spiral

Demo_02.png

Create the base spiral shape by default Helix.


Part 02: Generate Connection Lines & Node Spheres

Code: mesh_utils.py: random_connect()

Randomly generated curves between vertexes. The range and distribution area could be controlled by curvenum and curve_lenght_max.

Code: mesh_utils.py: cover_mesh()

Generated spheres with random scale and rotation on the connected vertexes.


Part 04: Constrain locators to spheres

Demo_05.gif
Demo_06.gif

Code: mesh_utils.py: constarin_locaotor()

By doing this constrain, all the curves could be controlled by the spheres connected to it.
It allows me to control, stretch and even animated it with keying those spheres.
