I'm not sure of the math for making a spiral, but it may very well work...

I would love to revisit the Wave plugin for this plus a few other things. It's a little clumsy now because all waveforms are based off of 0,0,0, forcing you to move your geometry there...

I would like to modify it to fix that issue, show a realtime-preview, and shape wavelengths based on the size of the selected geometry (so you can, for example, issue 1 wave, 2 waves, 3.5 waves, etc instead of havng to calculate it out yourself manually).

Perhaps with these changes, I could introduce other waveforms as well, possibly spirals...

I'm in the middle of a few other projects now, but this may be forthcoming later on.
