MagicaCSG Feature: Z-Profile Helix SDF Primitive
Added 2025-05-03 08:48:07 +0000 UTCA new helix type will be added in the next update.
In the previous version, the helix profile is extruded along a spiral path.
Now, the helix profile can be extruded along the z axis.
It' useful to create shapes like drills and pillars.
Notes:
this primitive is expensive to evaluate, so you may limit the number of helix primitives or use small blending factors in the scene.
the regular polygon can have up to 64 sides now (4,5,6,8-side polygons are still optimized)
sphere/cylinder profiles use special line profile.
Comments
Good for rifling of firearm/artillery cannon barrels, candy canes, barber poles, wrought iron fencing and railings (especially if this can be combined with Array Duplication), fireplace implements and spiral kamehameha energy beams too!
