Nutcracker: bug fix, enhancement for Spiral class. Post #2

[smeighan]

Finally lets see the fade 3d effect

fade_3d='N'

fade_3d='Y'

fade_3d='Y'. If you take the total number of strings and divide by the number ofstrings you will in the spiral. So i have 32 strings that i am using as a half megatree. So even though i will only have 16 strings, i use the maximum string count from the rgb target,32.

32 strings divided by 4 spirals = 8 strands per spiral

So we will set the thickness value to 8.

Now lets look at that again full size. it may have been hard to see what the fade_ed does on the small thumbnails
