A Geometry nodes setup to achieve a Stem and Peel spiral effect to any curve.
This node tree transforms any curve (generated, edited or drawn) into a customizable beveled curve with sides folding and unfolding into spirals.
It comes with the full setup, labels and explanations.
Video demo here and here.
The setup is only one example of using this node tree, you can utilize your own custom curves, shape them and bevel them in the node setup to your desire, and apply your own material to it. (The generated UV Map is exposed to an Attribute, and accessible in the Shader Editor)
The number of peeling sides, the degree of their individual peeling is completely customizable.
Happy Blending !
