Helix Growth Animation

Hi Everyone,

I’ve modeled up this helix:


I’m now trying to solve how this model will begin from a single point and then grow, snake around each other, and seamlessly merge together into a complete helix loop. (The ‘resting’ model reference above).

I’m not sure how to approach this, and I’m looking for your advice in how best to accomplish this effect.

This is exciting for me to learn how to work in this program, and I feel very lucky to have this community to interact with.

Thank you all kindly in advance.
