LWChris Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Is there any method or plugin to create a line in the shape of a coil? Like this, but obviously "nice and clean"? I searched the plugin index for "spiral" (all seemed to be concentric), "coil" (1 result for Tesla coil lightning) and "twister" (no results) and I'm out of ideas what to look for. I can probably do it from hand, creating a single loop with mirrored parts from two differently sized ellipses for upper and lower half, and then copying that loop multiple times horizontally. But maybe there's something easier that I haven't found yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactilis Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 This, along with @Red ochre's Helix plugin will help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWChris Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 @Red ochre I looked at your plugin first, but the examples seemed way too complex for a simple non perspectivic non shaded 1px wide coiled line... maybe I need to look into it and play around with it.

Pixey Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Another way could be done like this: 1. Draw a circle and chop off the top: 2. Duplicate the layer and move to join up: 3. Use Trail to extend the coil: Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.
