Spiral

What is it about?

This page describes the Spiral distribution node of the Scene Nodes system in Cinema 4D. It rotates a line arrangement copy by copy around its start point with progressive scaling — producing spiral and shell-like patterns.

This Node can be used to distribute the defined number (Count) of matrices uniformly along a line. After each copy has been generated, this line can be rotated around an angle around the start point. The matrices will also be scaled smaller at the start of the line on which they are distributed and increase in size to their original size towards the end of the line. In addition, the matrices can be rotated perpendicular to the line.

In addition to spiral shapes, other elongated structures can also be generated.
