Experiment 4, 5 & 6 - Expansion on Spirals

My theme is logamarithmic spirals. I have been experimenting with a few different consepts stemming from them same intial idea.

This model was created using a series of spirals created using curves attatched to points. I then experimented with creating an edge surface between the different spirals.

This shape similarly started off with the initial spirals, but this time did not use a curve attatched to my points. I then wanted to lay a series of planes on the different points. I found that i had to use a 4pt surface to create the effect i wanted; planes that were shaped depending on their orientation on the spiral.

This experiement deals with spheres. I ws experimenting with scaling according to there XYZ location. For this i plugged series in the radius of the sphere, which was plugged into the points on the spiral. I initially came across the problem that i could only manually enter a series of numbers, but wanted to create a series that could be easily adjusted. After i solved this issue, i came across a problem that was creating the spheres to scale to a certin point and then stop increasing in size. I realised that the slider plugged into the C value of series(controlling the amount of spheres created) had to be the same as the slider plugged into the N value of the range(controlling the amount of points in the spiral).
