How to make a seashell in alias

Hi! 

 

I want to make a seashell in Alias, one that looks like the picture I attached. I dont know what they are called

but they look like unicorn horns, or the horns of Narwals, pointy long, spirals. 

Does anyone know how I can do this? 

I would appreciate the help! Thanks!! 😄

I haven't tried, but I imagine that you would first make a spiral that tapers like the shell tapers. You could then use the rail tool with a generation curve at each end that has that grooved look that the shell has. It seems it would require some playing around with the length of those generation curves.

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask the community or share your knowledge.
