We're trying to create a camera in 3ds that moves in a 2D spiral, moves up a bit, and repeats the spiral. We've created the 2D spiral , but I don't know how to stack two spirals in 3 space and connect them. The 3D editor won't let me import the 2D spiral, since it is not a closed polygon, so I can't just copy the spiral to different heights and link them together. Has anyone solved this problem? Is there some way I can describe the spiral in a text file? Is there some other tool I should be using to create this path? All responses greatly appreciated. MikeA
