how were the ropes done? - When I needed to pose a length of tube (part of his breathing apparatus) as part of my Gerry Anderson UFO alien model, I did this: Make the tube as a simple Poser model of 16 segments with the curve property. Import the alien's geometry as a non-posable prop. Pose the tube. Remember how many segments of the tube were needed. Delete the alien (since Poser 3 with props triangularizes meshes and removes g and usemtl lines). Export the tube as .OBJ . Resume editing the alien's geometry thus: Add and place and size the tube, and delete the surplus.
