Golden Guides

Submitted by Matt Rapelje on Tue, 2008-07-01 21:41

Creates three different guides based on the Golden Ratio 1.618, Golden
Ruler, Golden Rectangle, and Golden Spiral. The script also has tools
for quickly scaling objects based on the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio
is found in nature and is used in Art, Music, Architecture, etc...

For more infomation on the Golden Ratio

Procedural guilloché pattern.

Helical Cylinder

Submitted by Swordslayer on Fri, 2015-12-11 07:03

Example usage would be spiral ductwork, screw threads, flexible metal tubes, circular ramps etc. No smoothing groups are assigned, for smooth look either use Smooth modifier or add points to the spline profile.

Helix with Bezier Handles

Submitted by Swordslayer on Thu, 2015-12-03 02:38

Just like the regular helix only with four bezier handles per turn (or more if you would like - you can control that with the Steps spinner) instead of 40 corner-points of the default Helix shape.

Knob

Knob is a scripted geometry primitive (simpleObject plugin) with predefined low-res topology
optimized for smoothing via TurboSmooth or MeshSmooth modifiers.

Mesh Muscle

Similar to the CAT Muscle Strand object, only mesh-based and accepts modifiers.

Mesh Surface

Submitted by Swordslayer on Sun, 2016-06-26 12:09

Creates surface defined by four splines. The order of picking the splines matters - they should form a closed loop. If you get a weird looking mesh, try once again starting with another of the four splines:

Note that if any of the splines are animated, the resulting mesh is animated, too.

NGon by Edge

Submitted by Swordslayer on Sat, 2018-01-20 10:05

NGon spline primitive created by dragging the first edge. Holding shift constraints to ortho, holding ctrl flips the shape. The original idea and implementation comes from Aslan Tamjidi, see the discussion thread for further details.
