@Vader there's the extra objects addon which allows for the creation of spirals, you will still have to manually define parameters and bridge edge loops
@Vader or you could try simply ribbing the screw without making a spiraling thread, it would give it better definition than a normal map and if you just raise one side of the ribbing so it slopes at an angle to the direction of the screw there would be no way to tell at all it wasn't real threads without the camera moving around it.
oh, also it might have to do with your modifier stack
i gotta finishj this paper but after you get the ribbing done, just kinda tilt it, you know? so they aren't running perfectly perpedicular across the screw
@Scalia Quite well! A while back, you predicted Starblast would be dead within a year - While I don't remember the exact time you said that, I'm happy to tell you that Starblast is coming up on its first birthday, on November 22nd
A massive growth of the game means a massive growth of people who are interested in the game, and thus videos about the game. I have every reason to want to see the game grow :)
