Creating a threaded pole along a spline?
#2
Hi,

There isn't an out of the box solution to do that. What you can do is either:
  • Using the API, make your own shape that is a spiral following a curved line. As a reference, you can take a look at the implementation of the Spiral shape (which follows a straight line), which is the CSShape class. This and this might be helpful.
  • Using the API, make a Curvy Generator module which rolls a spline around another one. I attached an example, a scene that uses a modified version of ModifierTRSPath, that makes an extruded straight mesh roll around it center. This is just for reference since it is not production ready code at all.
I hope this helped. Have a nice day.

Please consider leaving a review for Curvy. This will help a lot keeping Curvy relevant in the eyes of the Asset Store algorithm.
