      the way it's being presented here could be solved this way (i used pilou's linked video for inspiration πŸ˜‰ )

      it's weird in that 'this spot' has everything rotating around the same z axis.. in contrast, that other version i tried had a little tear drop up there..

      [edit].. oh wait.. i think i'm missing a 1/2 turn or two in there..
      same thing just more of it then.. πŸ˜„

      [i will say this though.. i don't think you're going to find an automated process for this.. i'm pretty sure someone would have to specifically make a nautilus plugin to get it done quickly]

        Many thanks, again. I think my problem with not accepting what is obvious to an experienced lofter is that I think the routine can see my intentions when in fact there are too many options to parse, so it must be done in pieces where the choices are more inevitable. As you have been saying. Thanks also for your patience.

                    Start from the red square, rotate the diagonal of the half red square = the golden rectangle
                    each corner gives you a new square by the black arcs circles
                    You can now draw the red Golden Spiral πŸ˜‰

                    Clear as mud, Pilou. πŸ˜›

                    Nice that urgen's first video does the job for us so easily.

                    (As useful as it may be, I could not find a free version of 1001bit, only trials.)

                        You bet it is. I did not mean to trouble you further, though.

                              Finally got it done with the original model using Fredo's Curviloft tools and TIGs Extrusion Tools. Five steps to model the half shell.

                              Never fear. WIP not. Unrendered.

                              shell via curviloft-DONE-1.JPG

                              shell via curviloft-DONE-2.JPG

                              shell via curviloft-DONE-3.JPG

                              shell via curviloft-DONE-4.JPG

                              Thanks very much for your help and patience.

                                Yes of course 1024 *512 is my maxi, but not for the previus because I made it on the fly (maybe 30 seconds) πŸ˜’
                                so I have not yet the original! 😳

                                if you are interested take a look to my little prog πŸ˜‰

                                You make any model you want in SU than use my little prog for make some funny variations β˜€

                                  I am very interested and will try it. You are modest kind, and creative, and most helpful.

                                  But you did not save that image.... Too much flowing. πŸ˜›

                                  We cannot capture it all, we cannot hold any of it.
