Coiled spring

After creating the gel/ toothpaste, I realised the difficulty in making the paste in a rounded shape. I was then inspired to construct a spiral/ coil/ spring object.

That was a most successful exercise.
And a nice illustration as a result.
It's great when someone is successful in figuring out how to do something.

Fantastic. Come on Anas (Edited with great embarrasment), you've got to let us know how you did it!

A bigger spring or maybe telephone coil.

That is superb - well done

I have just spent half an hour figuring this out and produced the attached image which doesn't work very well.

As I post this, I suddenly become aware this is the 3D forum so this Xtreme construction is redundant -

... unless its .xar file imports into X3D nicely but that I won't know yet 'cos I never saved it ...

Ingenious, Anas, very ingenious, but I figured it out, though it took a while!

Well done!

Oh God! It's time for me to crawl back and stick my head in the oven again

See, it's the Salaam and Simsmj show all over again! I too have been trying to figure this out and haven't gotten anywhere, except the fork in the road called Frustration Point!!!
