Madeup Model – kryzernj

So I didn’t come out with anything as impressive as a double helix or a church, but here’s a sort of interesting pattern. It was essentially a product of just messing around in made up. The only real problems I had with this was when I had a slight memory issue that was quickly fixed and realizing that if Fracture is set to a lower number it would essentially take years for the tube to render, here it is:

first

And here is the code:
size = 50

moveto 0, 0, 0
yaw 90
modifier = 1.1
repeat 3
move size
yaw 90
end
repeat 4
move size/10
yaw 90
size = size/modifier
move size
size = size/modifier
yaw -90
move size
yaw -90
size = size * modifier
move size
yaw -90
move size/10
yaw -90
modifier = modifier + 0.1
repeat 2
size = size/modifier
move size
yaw 90
end
size = size * modifier
move size
yaw 90
end

fracture = 0.1
nsides = 30
