Twist
The Twist modifier creates a twirling or spinning effect across
an object's geometry.

You can control the angle of the twist on any of the three axes
as well as limit the twist to a specific area of the geometry.
To twist an object, first select it and apply the Twist modi-
fier. The Parameters rollout allows you to set the Twist Axis
to X, Y, or Z. You can set the angle of the twist using the Angle
spinner provided. You can also use the Bias spinner to “bunch
up” your twists at either side of the object. Lastly, you can
adjust the twist at its sub-object level and manipulate the
actual twist gizmo to further manipulate your twist.
