Spirals as paths
The spiral is a path and the generated spiral can be used as a path as any path, used to add text, used in warps, used as a design element, exported to Photoshop and much more
Spiral backgrounds
The spiral plugin can generate a background of different spiral designs quickly and easy, each with a random color, design or uniform spiral designs and more
Abstract spirals
The spiral plugin can be used to create a basic spiral but the spiral features can be used to create paint designs, abstract art and much more. Truly wow art designs, totally unique and wow.
Different spirals
Using different spiral structures as well as star features and spiral curvature settings, many 1000s of different spiral designs can be created.
Spiral Offset features
The spirals can be created as an offset of the original, creating a spiral calligraphic design
Spirals and effects
The spirals can also have styles applied to them, creating 3D spiral designs or scribbled spirals or gradient filled spirals and much more. The plugin can also randomize the spiral style as well
Easy to use
The plugin's functions are split over multiple panels. The key panel is the front panel but the other panels include the offset, color features, curvature, randomness and much more and can be explored (via the presets) quickly.
