Code: Select all
sRev=12; //number of elements per revolution
sAng=degreesToRadians(360/segRev);
sRad=50; //helix radius
sOff=20; //helix offset
X=Math.sin(sAng*index)*sRad;
Y=sOff*(index-1);
Z=Math.cos(sAng*index)*sRad;
[X,Y,Z]

It depends on what you want to animate...
If you want to animate the radius of the helix, link the "sRad" parameter to a slider.
If you want to animate the radius of the helix, link the "sOff" parameter to a slider.
etc.
