Making a rope look good always seems difficult. This is a coil, made in MoI, and a "canvass" shader was applied to the coil and then the shader I made in Photoshop,( attached) used in the displacement tag. Carrara6Pro.

Sill a bit roughh--but!

Hope of interest.

DKD---like the old everyday hemp ropes of the 1940s!

Here are the shader settings --hope they will help in working out your individual aproaches.

Shonner.
The problem is with the file sizes on long/complex /complex combination ropes.
A 3D twisted made rope is often not an ideal solution

 Yah.  I made a three-strand twisted easy-pose line, but the poly count was a little high.  Looked nice, tho.

One thing I'd love to play with is the way that older organic-fibre ropes will lose cohesion on some outer strands...basically get "hairy."  I wonder if dynamic hair would be a nice way to add this detail?
