I am trying to make something like a unicorn horn. I tried using the loft tool but was not successful. Is there a straightforward way to do this? Here is a picture of a unicorn horn someone made in blender just to remind you what one looks like. Basically I need the shape to spiral although it does not need to taper.
With the loft tool it is hard to maintain the spiral and shape as far as I can tell.
What does it look from perspective, it kinda looks very flat or ORTHO view is making look very flat.

basically it’s two circles overlapping like this and the twisted together.
I think this method can be utilized.

This is so generous of you to take the time to show me how to do this. Thank you!
Few days ago I was trying to use that technique for a cup I saw but kinda Failed.

I found some success with this method. Maybe on your cup you need to make the sketch circle bigger?

Or maybe if you changed your sketch profile to look more like a teardrop or something then you could get the overlap you need.

Yeah but it’s a good fail in an interesting way.

Thanks I’ll give it a try for the V2.
By the way don’t know what that is but looks pretty interesting, like a spear, very nice!
Oh and ya it kinda looks interesting, happy mistake and should still think about somehow using that to make a cup.

Yes I agree, version one looks great. May I ask how you got your cup to deform like that? Maybe the loft tool?
