AYanik Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi guys I'm new here. First of all I wanted to thank you for having such an awesome community. I'm pretty new to houdini, but have learned a lot by lurking on this forum. I would like to create a spiraling curve(like a phone cord) from another curve(not a straight curve). I already saw some other solutions by just making a helix and deform that along the curve. I also saw a solution about making an arc and sweeping that on a curve and later join the pieces together. I was wondering if there would be a more procedural/mathematical way by using the curve and a point vop or point wrangle? Maybe with a cross product and using the point number as a variable to control the twists? Unfortunately my math knowledge is pretty basic. I would be very happy if someone could post a sample.
