Is there a way to make a screw like object spiral down into a point? Basically I want a screw modifier on an object and as it spirals it gets smaller and tighter until it makes a point.

  • $\begingroup$ Hi, you could try adding a lattice modifer after screw, and use the lattice to scale it on one side (until it makes a point) $\endgroup$

Curve Modifier. Proportional Edit. Shape Keys.

enter image description here

Image above

  • Yellow Cylinder. High Density of Vertices is shown with the wire mesh detail on extreme left.
  • Blue elongated cone mesh created with proportional edit of Yellow. Vanishing Point on End. Shape Keys.
  • Spiral Curve and Blue Mesh with Objects centers in the same location.
  • Curve Modifier Shown. With the cone shape dominant.
  • Curve Modifier Shown. With Cylinder shape dominant.
  • Apply Scale to Curve.
  • Please research further for the Curve Modifier. This is just to launch your further research and not a tutorial. Search here at BSE.

Proportional Edit your final product after applying other modifiers.

enter image description here

  • Proportional Edit shown in Blue, Scaled XY with Cursor Pivot.
  • Note the rotation scale mode is set to cursor and cursor is placed carefully.
  • No effort was taken for Artistry
  • Please improve and suit to taste
  • I prefer the Curve Modifier answer. Greatly.
