Spiraloids (previously Spirals)

[Herik Zorneck]

@Herik - All of your patterns are really interesting, but in fact, none of them are spirals... Though I have to think about the term "spiral-like" or "pseudo-spiral"... Maybe they could be an actual sub-group of spiral family? But I have to think some time about it... Also thanks about that still life, I'm sure I'll use it in some my new spirals!

you're totally right about that
I decided to show my patterns because I thought they evolved following the same logic (C4 simmetry ) of their spiral patterns
I'm glad you enjoyed the still life pattern, if you build a spiral with it do not forget to post here.
thank you!

obs.: edited to update a better design

P.S. just more 4 little examples

The wiki page is DONE! But because there is already page named spiral, I renamed the whole pattern family to spiraloids I also shortened the main post a bit and gave link to wiki page. That's it for today I think, I'll upload more stuff tomorrow. Have fun
