Copper Coil

Artwork Finished Projects

I was modeling some springs and I wanted to create something with the technique. So I created the below image of a copper coil wrapping around a metal pipe in a wooden building. I was thinking about creating a tutorial on how to model a spring easily using a curve, would anyone be interested? Anyways hope you like it :slight_smile:
