The Daily Tortured Prim: Horn of a Unicorn

 

Ok, I admit, I'm a girl. A girlish girl. Glitter and unicorns, pixies and fairy tales, crystals and .... well, you get the picture, right? *giggles*
So yeah, there have to be unicorns. Even before animesh times, there had to be unicorns. Even if they consisted of 30 single prims and sculpties and looked rather rough - but there HAD to be unicorns. 

Thankfully, you can make a super beautiful unicorn horn from a simple box in just a few easy steps.

And here is how it's done:

Rezz a Box and name it "Horn". 

Object tab:
Size:  x = 0.1, y = 0.1, z = 1.2
Twist: B = -180, E = 180 (please note the MINUS on B. NO minus on E!)
Taper: x = 1.0, y = 1.0
 

The twist settings can be inverted. This means, you can have the positive value on B and the negative value on E which would make the horn wind in the other direction. 
To get the maximum out of the twist, both ends should twist in different directions (positive & negative values).  

As the horn is basically a pyramid, it has 5 faces to texture which gives a great variety of possibilities.

 
Let me know in the comments how you liked today's project. What are you going to do with it? I would love to hear about your plans and projects. 

Save the prim! 👍
