Spiral Bowl?

Hi all,

It is late on a Friday and I’m having trouble getting my head around the best way to create a spiral bowl e.g. so that a coin or a ball can roll into and around it, getting closer and closer to the centre until it falls out of the hole at the bottom.

Any thoughts much-ly appreciated!

Are you having trouble making the actual bowl, or just getting the physics to work?

you could make a bowl with the screw modifier see example here

but need some animation for the ball
may be with the new rigid physic !

happy bl

Is this what you have in mind?
