A new helix type will be added in the next update.

In the previous version, the helix profile is extruded along a spiral path.

Now, the helix profile can be extruded along the z axis.

It' useful to create shapes like drills and pillars.

Notes:

  • this primitive is expensive to evaluate, so you may limit the number of helix primitives or use small blending factors in the scene.

  • the regular polygon can have up to 64 sides now (4,5,6,8-side polygons are still optimized)

  • sphere/cylinder profiles use special line profile.

Good for rifling of firearm/artillery cannon barrels, candy canes, barber poles, wrought iron fencing and railings (especially if this can be combined with Array Duplication), fireplace implements and spiral kamehameha energy beams too!
