Artist's Comments

Instructions on how to use the DupliFrames tool to create continuous replications of an object, the example here is a double-helix but it can also be used for things like spiral staircases, fans, springs, etc. This tutorial assumes some understanding of the IPO editor.

That was a really good tutorial. Easy to follow. I didn't realise DupliFrames could be used for things like this -- it'll be fun experimenting with them.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Very usefull. Added to favs.
This is somewhat easier then duplicating and translating and rotating xD.

Nice, but fyi, the new array modifier can do the same thing, possibly easier ;)

I'm a newbie, and I'm having trouble on the animating steps. My frames 1 and 11 both read "empty," and nothing seems to happen when I do the curve editor steps, nor is there any movement when I scroll through the frames. Is there some step I'm missing or a possible configuration that's giving me grief?

Hi, thank you for the cool tutorial!
It worked fine, though I had severe problems with the rendering, since the file becomes too big, due to the subsurf levels. To smoothen the surface it is easier to simply click "set smooth".
I will start playing now, making loops and other secondary structures..... [link]

Great tutorial - I had attempted this before and can see what settings were wrong
