Looking to create ribbon that curls, twists and turns like the image below

Anyone know what definition was used to create this?

Why dont you ask the guy to give it to you? (I’m betting your name is chris as it was the only comment on his blog after 8 years and it was today :joy::joy::joy:)

Does this flat patterns into a straight strip ?
Im trying to figure out how to make the strip “real world”
