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, CT
