Hey Danny, that turned out better around the pole area than I thought it might, cool!

Yeah Michael, I was happy with it too!
The curve is good as is, but further refining with 'rebuild' and you get a nicer curve with evenly spaced control points.

Cheers

Danny,
How did you cut the curve perpendicular to the surface in the rendered example?
Thanks,
David

Hi Danny,

Thanks for this Tip, very handy to know.

Hi David,

> How did you cut the curve perpendicular to the surface in the rendered example?

I actually swept an arc profile which is the same radius as the sphere (in blue) to get the result in the rendered picture.
Is this what you mean?





Cheers

Magic sweep! ;)

Thanks Danny,
I did not realize it would track the spiral perpendicularly. I assumed you were doing something more exotic.
- David

During the sweep you can fix or not the twist (free or fixed) ;)

Ah yes... Thanks Frenchy Pilou.
