I was wondering about the “correctness” of the z-axis movement for the spherical helix. You could pick lots of different functions, including simple linear motion (z = c * t). This would obviously affect the thickness and consistency of the “peels”.
The equation used creates a visually appealing result but I’m wondering what a good goal would be in terms of consistency in the distance between the spirals, or evenness in area divided, or something like that.
How was this particular function selected? Was it derived in some way or simply hand-selected to look pleasing?
