Snail primitive
Date Updated:
05/25/2014 A simple primitive based on a logarithmic spiral.
Additional Info:
This is an old work in progress I never finished. The Creation Method and Mapping Options rollouts are just placeholders.
The geometry part is functional, though.
The plugin creates a new Snail primitive that appears under the Special Primitives category in the drop-down list.
Hopefully, the parameters should be self-explanatory.
Paste the code in a new script window and evaluate it (you might have to do it twice, for some reason).
The new Special Primitives category should now appear in the list with the Snail primitive.
If you want to keep it permanently, you have to save the script in one of max's startup folders.
Version Requirement:
tested in max 9 32-bit and max 2012 64-bit | Attachment | Size |

Thank you, good people :)
This is still a work in progress. I'm going to add a few more settings - like a Height and perhaps a Bulge - and try to do something better than a simple planar mapping for the UVs. And also make some parameters sticky.
So keep an eye on it in the coming days.
Thanks for sharing! Very
