Cylinder with modulating, flattening and texturing
When the ascending transformation (adding a u-parameter in the z-coordinate) is replaced with a function of sine, the helical surface reconnects into a closed loop. After the shape is closed, modulating can be applied to vary the frequency at which the shape undulates up and down. As the three-dimensional shape modulates, so does the two-dimensional unrolled surface.
