Re: Position & function

For spirals I don't recommend using expressions. Instead use a Null object and parent your layer to it. Make sure the layer is at the same position as the Null object to begin with. This would mean [0,0,0] if the layer is already parented to the null.

Rotate the Null object on the Y-axis and animate the position of your layer out on the Z-axis. For example, from [0,0,0] to [0,0,1000].

This can be adapted for any axis of rotation.
