In combination with VWD that climbing rope by 3-D-C doesn't have to be only a rope, there's so much more you can do with it!

Here's an example, made by scaling and pre-posing it in DAZ Studio, then draping it in VWD: After draping it I used ZBrush for some corrections and 3DCoat for better UV's, but VWD was an essential step in the process of creating it.

@Smaker: what can I say about Octane for DAZ Studio, you've seen my results : )

Converting materials by hand for Octane can be very time-consuming, but is usually well worth the effort.
