Blending contoured shapes on a curve...2

[Egg Bramhill]

Several members have asked how to produce the optical illusion effect where-by a blend has no overlap. I have produced the following. It's a bit long winded but I hope it helps

.... non exact overlay of blended objects on a circle. I did the same and got the same results. I think its to do with the distribution around the arc.(ie "rotate along curve").
If you make a blend between 2 lines and attach to curve, the start and end lines overlay exactly. If you the do "rotate along curve" there is a descrepency on the overlap. However the 2 overlapping lines still intersect on the intersection with the circle. I get a 0.8 degree shift.
Why this is I'm not sure.

These were originally produced by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvard. I have reproduced them using XX. This one was produced by creating the cube shape (grouped) and blended along a triangle. You can actually produce a real 3D version of this which is correct when viewed at the correct angle.
