Spiraled Sphere

on 29 Oct 2022

% A sphere made of a spiral ribbon

%n=40;% Resolution of the sphere

%S=10;% Number of spirals

w=.06;% (1/S)*t; % Thickness of the ribbon as a factor of other vars

% Theta goes around S times, with n verts per round.

l=@linspace;

T=l(0,20,400);% (0,S*2,n*S)

T=[T;T];% top and bottom of ribbon

% Phi slowly goes from -.5 to .5 (top+bottom of sphere) with same # verts

% as theta.

P=l(-.5+w,.5,400);

P=[P;P-w];% top and bottom of ribbon, thickness of w.

% Make the surface coordinates
