How to Create A Spiral Model In Maya

In this tutorial You Can Learn The Spiral Modeling.
Go to Create CV Curve Tool Option Box and rearrange the settings.
In the Front view generate a curve, starting in the source, with 5 units between every CV point. Hold down the x key on your keyboard while placing the CV’s to snap to the net. For this tutorial I will employ a total of 6 CV points.

Clutch the Nurbs Circle and move it about 3 units in the x axis. The extruded surface will go as well since of contruction history, but it’s significant that you ONLY go the circle.
In the circle’s outputs you’ll have an extrude1 node. Click it to make bigger it and set Use Component Pivot to Component Pivot and Use Profile Normal to off. Not anything will come about yet, but it will when you add to the Rotation value.
Speaking of the Rotation value. Try setting it to 360. Now the extruded outside will make a spiral that goes one time approximately the curve. If you struggle moving the circle along the x axis you will see that its position will increase the circumference of the spiral.
Keep the circle in positive 3 in the x axis will give you a result similar to the image to the right.

At this instant try setting the Rotation value of the extrude to 5000. The extruded surface will now rotate about 14 times around the curve. A trouble though is that it’s looking a bit flat. To fix this problem you should turn the circle 90 degrees in the x axis.

And that is, as they say, that. Currently just play with the settings of the extrude1 node, struggle moving, scaling and rotating the nurbs circle for different results.
For a phone cord for instance; Try scaling the nurbs circle down a bit, and moving it closer to the curve. If you feel like the cord to have a more rectangular cross section just tweak the CV’s of the circle.
After some fast change I came up by this result.
Happy modeling!

Extra:
Try pulling the CV’s in the curve you made in step 1. The spiral will stretch like a regular phone cord. Nice huh?
