thanks for the follow up Jim, that looks more like what im after. Havent had a chance to punch in those settings, but ill try it out when I have a minute and see where it gets me.
Steve, do you have any more info on the deformer method, and formula method you’re describing? I briefly looked at the formula spline, but i have 0 idea how to input the formulae for what im trying to do. I also just now tried your spline deformer tip, but could seem to get that to do anything useful to my helix. I was only getting it to act as a spline wrap, basically.

thanks for the quick reply Jim, but i dont think its exactly what Im after (though Ill replicate your settings and see if I can tweak them a bit). This is still pretty linear. I was getting a similar result by quickly dropping a Taper under the helix and using that to expand one end. At least that way I was able to use the curvature option to make the shape less linear or conical.
Incase I wasnt clear enough in the first post, i guess to word it differently, each rotation needs to be further than its previous rotation…? so if rotation 1 rose 1 unit, rotation 2 would rise 2 units, rotation 3 would rise 4, then 8, 16, etc, or something to that effect (im no mathamagitian).

figured it out…

thanks for trying greg. ya, viceland may have limited it to north america only? i dunno. all i know is i can see it. unfortunately all the videos of the show, with the intro sequence, are all posted by viceland, so i dont think sharing any other episode link would do any good.

no one has any ideas?

ah, i see cow has posted this as an embedded video. my original link linked to the specific time the effect happened.
so, to clarify, its the title sequence… 0:39 to 0:56… right at the beginning. the effect is obvious.

iv noticed exatctly when its happening. i set a key on the curves layer, move ahead 1 or 2 frames, curves magically converts to pencil mode. step back 2 frames (not undo, just scrub), and its back to bezier mode.
further playing around showed me that if im between 2 keys, its in pencil mode. if im on a key, its in bezier mode. when i pass the last key, it stays in bezier mode. so the solution i guess is to copy/paste a key to where i want to make the new key, and adjust.
perhaps this is normal ae behaviour? i dont recall this happening before, but maybe it was.

yes, both, but i dont consider either to be out of the ordinary for an artist using AE. if you’re suggesting it might be the tablet, i can try unpluggin that when the problem comes up again… but i dont see how that could be the cause.

i found the new version to be way too buggy, so no, im not switching yet. but, unless someone else has any idea why this could be happening, i guess ill live with it for now.
