Spiral Node

My spiral node draws five types of spiral: Fermat, Square, Archimedean, Logarithmic, and Fibonacci. It outputs them as either a key set of points or as a clean bezier path. Requires make_curve.py (included).

The node has seven settings:

• Type
• Turns
• Size
• Rotation
• Angle x 100
• Clockwise vs. Counterclockwise
• Output (Path or Points)

The demo includes several other handy subnetworks:

• reverse_dir: reverses direction of a path even if it includes beziers
• shrinking_text: turns a string into a series of letter paths of diminishing size
• wind_letters: winds letter paths around a spiral
• walls: creates isometric 3D walls from a square spiral
• fib_boxes: draws a series of interlocking Fibonacci boxes

The spiral node is free for you to use as you wish in any future creations. Enjoy!

The Text on a spiral path intrigues me.

Two things I think it would be interesting to do with it.

1. A clockwise rotation.

2. A clockwise rotation after which the text dissagrears from the ouside in until it's all gone. A, down the rabbit hole kind of animation effect.

Either would look cool, but, especially # 2.

(I know it's not exactly what you mentioned, but it's pretty close.)

At some point Instagram wants me to sign in.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Instagram is convenient. But I suppose I should host all those videos on my own web server so people can view them without being hassled. It would take a bit of slogging, but I'll add that to my list of things to do.
