I'm trying to construct a spiral that looks like the center point is pulled up (see attached pic).
Has anyone an idea how to create/contruct such an object that looks evenly perfect?
Cheers, Timo

Thx, Prophet, I get the concept ... but this is also far a way from looking "perfect" (or even close to). In my approach I started with a spiral, deformed it and was trying to move the anchor points accoordingly - but there seems to be no way to do this in a structured way so the result looks "good" ...

Use a 3D app. There is no way to achieve the look in 2D apps (except tracing exports of 3D apps).

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

I tend to agree with NotMyFault, I got nowhere with Affinity so turned to Inkscape
First draw a helix or do what I did and borrow one from wikipedia
Actually, it's not a helix but made from bits to look like one so the first job is to join the bits
Then apply Path Effects/ Perspective
This is my first attempt, needs a bit of refinement

Note the copyright requirements of the wikipedia page if you decide to use it

Are not spirals//helixes mostly constructed from the same repeating pattern which just decreases in size

The Move/Duplicate function may "help simplify" the creation of such a shape from a base shape (shown in black below)
