hi all is there any one how made snail shell 3d model i have tried all day with some result but not there yet?




here is my result looks like the curve shold be colsing more in the 3 axes in top center to colse the hole

Here is something to get you headed on your way.

Interesting project!!

Some stuff that may help you about spirals and shells:

hi Grendel tanks for the model can you tell me how did you make the spiral curve off the small snail

I made one spiral with a large circle(c1) at the left and a smaller one at the right(c2). I then snapped a smaller spiral to the end of the first and made a small circle(c3) at the end of that. I then swept C1 & c2 along the big spiral. Then swept c2 & c3 along the small spiral.

Using one of the drawings in Marks spiralsolaris pdf.

Alert! Nautalus found at Stone Henge. The stones really DID travel 1000 miles over water. :)

Have you seen how long a Swedish mile is?
It's like the difference between a REAL gallon and the USA gallon!

1609.3 kilometers----PLEASE!

Miles,----- grumble.grrrrrr, etc!

Hi all here is the result and how to is not perfect but ok

Equiangular Spiral: this is how i have done it is: project equal lines distance on curve cone ? the nember off lines is equal to Equiangular Spiral times 8 in this case 32 line to make 4 turne ESpiral .
from the top view draw lines to divide circles in 8 pices equal ,
start tracing from out in with (truepointcurve) every quater turne, step down one cirle,
to the end be patient.



projected Equiangular Spiral on dome





spring created by projecting normal spiral on dome and egg

Tricky :)

Hi lyes, cool screenshots! Looks like a technical diagram for a snail construction guide! :)

Playing around with some of the concepts of Iyes post.
Great fun.

I think these extras may it a bit better.

I think this shader is more suitable.

That's a pretty fun snail-inspired chair design Brian!

Is it something like---"Let the force be with you!"?

Who is having great, crazy, fun?

I was thinking more like "Aboriginal wicker!"
