These are the Default Presets and their particular gizmos:Įvery preset was specially built to show the use of one or more parameters in conjunction with a particular gizmo structure.įor example, the presets Ball of Wool and Snail Shell make use of the Absolute Rotation parameter to achieve a kind of spherical volume. The default presets also store a uniquely modifed gizmo each one. You may also create and manipulate your own presets.Įvery preset stores the values of all parameters in the UI. They are a quick way to start and learn this powerful tool. SuperHelix comes with a set of useful Presets. You can add or delete circular sections, as well as moving, rotating or scaling them to produce a different shape.

(Although it is preferable to use the “Pick Path” option for working with custom-shaped splines). The 3 type of components are simple 3dsMax objects and can be manipulated as so:įor example, you can modify the main path from the Editable Spline parameters, adding more vertices and moving them to change the spline shape. They control the variation of volume and torsion at different parts of the helix. Sections (one or more yellow circles around the main path) Indicates how the helix flows through space.

It controls the position, rotation and scale of the whole gizmo. Root helper (a cyan point helper displayed as a box)
