Also try this:
#declare SphereRadius = 1.5;
#declare SpiralRadius = 0.05;
#declare NrOfTurns = 5;
#declare NrOfSpheres = 1000;
#declare dAngle = 180/NrOfSpheres;
#declare SphereSpiral =
union {
#declare Cnt = 0;
#while (Cnt < NrOfSpheres)
sphere {
-SphereRadius*y, SpiralRadius
rotate Cnt*dAngle*<1, 2*NrOfTurns, 0>
}
#declare Cnt = Cnt + 1;
#end // while
}
object {
SphereSpiral
pigment { color rgb <1, 1, 1> }
}
light_source { <-2, 2, -3>*10 color rgb <1, 1, 1> }
camera {
location <0, 1, -2>*2
look_at <0, 0, 0>
}
