If you’ve ever tried to fly a perfect spiral or a 3D orbit around a building in Litchi, you know the pain.
Manually plotting 50+ waypoints in Mission Hub, adjusting altitude one by one, and praying the curve looks smooth. I hit that wall hard. After wasting an entire afternoon on a single vertical circle, I decided to write a small offline HTML tool that generates 3D paths using math instead of mouse clicks.
Here’s what it can do:
• 150-waypoint helical path — generated in under 10 seconds
• Spheres, spirals, custom curves — anything you can describe with a function
• Exports as 46-col CSV, ready for Litchi Mission Hub
And here’s the fun part — the same path format works with Minecraft /fill commands. So you’re not just flying these shapes. You’re building them, block by block.
I’ll walk you through the entire workflow — from generating the shape to exporting the CSV and importing it into Litchi Mission Hub. The tool itself is browser-based, so there’s nothing to install. I’ll show you exactly which parameters to adjust, how to preview the 3D path in real time, and how to get it into Litchi in under a minute. The whole process is point-and-click — no coding required.
Here’s how it works:"
- Open the HTML file in your browser
- Choose a shape — spiral, sphere, custom curve, or whatever you want
- Adjust the parameters — size, density, rotation
- Preview the 3D path in real time
- Click Export → get a 46-col CSV file
- Import into Litchi Mission Hub → fly
That’s it. 6 steps, no installation, no terminal, no scripting.
Here’s another thing — the path itself is just text. You can copy it, save it, or send it to a friend in one click. No files, no attachments, just a string of coordinates. Your friend pastes it into the tool and gets the exact same 3D path instantly.
And since you asked — here are some shapes I’ve been playing with:"
“Some are useful. Some are just for fun. All of them are generated the same way — math in, path out.”
I built this for myself, but a friend suggested I ask here.
I’m still polishing the math and some parts aren’t production-ready yet. But if I eventually put this up for $49 — would you actually use this?
