#TSE Coil Spring Script
I have posted a TSE script in the Script Section that will generate coil spring
meshes. The meshes are very similar to a helical lofted object, but the user
can specify to flatten and taper the ends. It also takes care of setting the
pivot point (and building target meshes) for morphing the spring in compression
or extension.
Mapping coordinates are applied to the mesh, so it should be ready for you Mesh
Paint users.
Look for some hidden buttons in the dialog boxes and modify the script to fit
your needs (just send me your changes).
NOTE: This script requires TSE to excute as it is a .P3D script.
Enjoy,
