Hi ?
Does anyone have a stripped candy cane they could share with me. I
can model the thing all right but getting the stripe to wrap around the
bend properly is giving me epileptic fits. I prefer a non patch solution
for this if at all possible.
Thank you in advance for any help you may have to offer.

That sounds difficult. You might find it easier to write a script
to generate the stripe as a mesh that's just slightly larger than
a white candy-cane object. Or of course you can see if the Object
Bender does what you need.

Unfortunatly I am not too adept at writing triangle construction scripts
so that rules out that option. The object bender is still an option I
have not overlooked but would like to avoid this too as I plan to create
possibly hundreds of duplicates and the parse time MAY be unnaceptable.
I have no experience with that particular inc file but have heard that
it is prohibitavly slow if the radius of the bend is excessive. A candy
can has a bend that exceeds 180 degrees which borders on excessive.

Sounds like a job for some sort of twisting on a torus slice unioned with the usual
cylinder and candy cane stripe texture (duh). Haven't done it myself. There's
Spiralizer
here:
http://www.armanisoft.ch/webdesign/default.htm
Just not sure of it's use for this particular purpose (makes 3D models not textures).
I couldn't find one of the many twisting spiral includes among my several links here
but
maybe theres a way to apply such a thing if you can locate one or if someone knows of
the whereabouts and can lead you to something, plus it seems the more plausible
alternative too.
Actually best of all would simply be a 'image_map' with 'map_type 5' applied to the
torus slice (wide red and white diagonal lines). Leave it to me to think of the best
solution last.

I have posted a candy cane model in the text scene files newsgroup.

Grr, I can't get it to post. I seem to be having a problem with long

I would, but I've already licked it...

Kinda on this same topic...
It sure would be nice if there were a spiral pattern that varied angle
only with y. That is to say, one like spiral1 but with a
cross-section that looks like radial. Am I alone in thinking this?

That's perfect. He wanted a stripped one anyway. Now if he wanted a
striped one, then you might have cause to be concerned.

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
dream about drinking after downloading it from this server (he he he™)

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

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.
The result is the first equation image on the page at the end.

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.
