Description

Another take on what's turned into a popular subject. To create these, all I did was make a closed path. The rings were simply a disk with the center point deleted and the axis offset. I then extruded along the path, keeping y aligned to the path. I had the axis rotate 2160 degrees for six full revolutions. I then cut and pasted the object at 15, 30 and 45 degrees, changing the object properties for each loop. The second object was created in a very similar manner, except I created the object once and replicated along the path instead of extruding.
