-  * Uses a bend modifier to create a circle with basic shapes.
+  * Uses a bend modifier to create a circle with basic shapes : create a line of shapes + Modifier > Simple Deform > Bend (360°) and apply.
   * Uses a nice simple low poly esthetic with bevels and moving a few vertices around
   * Shows the use of a lattice to parent an object or group of object to follow modifications made to the lattice (bends and such)

+==== Making Spiral meshes ====
+Use addon tool : Add Curve : Extra Objects.
+  * Add an Archemedian curve spiral.
+  * Tweak the Turns, Steps, Radius Growth and Height properties before validating the spiral.
+  * Go into the Data panel and under Geometry > Bevel add some Depth. Activate Fill Caps option.
+  * Convert the curve to a mesh and go sculpt.
