Yes, you are definately not alone in that.

This one is easily faked with a) a pigment_map b) dejong box effect
but these solutions are slow. I have needed this, too, in fact my
twister.inc was born to suit my need for this pattern. If there was
such a pattern then I could render that H.E.Day toothpaste that people

Go ahead, I'd love to see where you'd put them :)  Lucky you've only got my
head!  LOL

Ken, I know this is a bit late but I have posted KandyCane.jpg in
povray.binaries.images and the source in povray.text.scene-files.  It uses the
Striscia macros developed by Daniele Varrazzo. It's a bit different to Chris
Huff's solution. Hope you like it.

	If you map the colors instead of letting them be the spectrum
colors something like this should work. See the COMMENT!!! in the
file.

Ken,

You might try using Twist and Bend includes, both of them are at Chris
Colefax's site.

Sorry - just the Object Bender include from Chris Colefax will do the job
of both twisting and bending an object. Used with ClockMod you can even
animate the effect.
