The spiral1 pattern creates a spiral that winds around the y-axis similar to a screw. When viewed sliced in the X-Z plane, it looks like the spiral arms of a galaxy. Its syntax is:
- pigment {spiral1
}
The Number_of_Arms value determines how may arms are winding around the y-axis.
As a normal pattern, the syntax is
- normal {spiral1
, Bump_Size] [NORMAL_MODIFIERS...] }
where the vector <Orientation> is a required parameter but the float Bump_Size which follows is optional. Note that the comma is required especially if Bump_Size is negative.
The pattern uses the triangle_wave wave type by default but may use any wave type.
