I just realised that you can't really close of the tip. When making flatter snail shells with only 2-3 coils, there would be a big hole in the tip, adding an option to close this would be great for when creating lots of different shells
you should include a few base textures that you can modify the color nodes of, so that people don't have to apply their own textures. This would make scenes with lots of shells much easier and faster to make
Oh! Thanks for letting me know! Does this happen regardless of how you set up the shell, or did it happen on one particular shell only? If the latter, I may have some sort of edge case bug to fix, otherwise it sounds like I'll need to figure out an update for Blender 4.1. I'm still on 3.4.1 myself, but I might install 4.1 and try to come up with a fix maybe in the next week or so.
@@blenderconch oh yes , its just an edge case, the default shell finishes just fine, I'll change what I was trying to do, I probably made a line overlap the central axis.
(Sorry for the slow reply!) Sounds good. I hope some kind of tweak made it work for you. If you happen to know a way to reliably replicate the problem, please let me know. If I can repeat the error, I might be able to address it somehow in the code. No pressure, though - sounds like it was something subtle and rare.
Chrome gives me the same warning (about the file being "executable") when I download it. I think it must be noticing the .py file extension, which is a plain text file that contains Python code - not actually executable on its own in the way that a .exe file is. I think the browser is just being overly cautious about what it considers a potential danger. If you're a programmer, or if you know someone who is, you can easily verify that there's no funny business in the Python code.
love you for making this!
Thanks a lot! Always satisfying to see people enjoying it :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I might try sometime to see if I can figure out how to automate that.

Also a good suggestion. Thanks!
Just came from your old video. You're genius man!
Thanks a lot, PSY3D!
thank you soooooo much !that's so helpful
You're welcome! :)
Nice
Thank you!
this is really wonderful, thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏
The magic addon，thanks you～
You're welcome. Enjoy!
gorgeous thank you!!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! My future 3D printer will run hot because of a lot of different "snail houses" meshes. :-)
You're welcome! Enjoy!
Wow you made a generator 3 years ago and turned it into an addon. This is community stuff here ❤
Thanks for the kind words :)
The community has taught me so much. I'm very happy to give back!
Thank you, the finish button doesn't work for me Blender 4.1

Hiya, is the add-on on git-hub or anything? Would be interested in using it but unclear on the licensing terms?
Just a download link in the video description. No special licensing - it's free to use by anyone for any purpose.
@@blenderconch Thanks for your generous contribution to the community
@@makerspersona5456 Happy to help the community - the Blender community has helped me immensely!
It says that it is unsafe to download. Why is this? and has anyone else had this problem?
