Thanks Randy. Sam, be interested to hear your technique for that.

...and tonights...as you can see still "wiring" and this one was a real brain taxer! But I think I've cracked a way to do it, which might help anyone facing the same challenge.

Take a segment of 'wire', in the shape you want. Be that a preexisting mesh, spline etc. Stretch to length, rotate etc, then cut it in 1/2 down the length, deleting the unwanted bit.

This brings two bonuses: 1..it helps reduce the overall polycount of your model.

2..if you want to place the wire against (something like) a very thin wall you won't get it poking through the other side. Which allows you to use really thick cables, for example if you wanted armoured power cables in a sci-fi set.

Place your segment in the desired location, repeat the above and line it up next to the 1st segment, leaving a small gap. Now create a cylinder and slice that in 1/2. Kerching! There's a wire clip, just like in the real world. Move that into place, aiming for around the point where the wire/cable etc starts to droop.

Obviously, in the large image, these clips are not yet in place. Nor is it a perfect solution, it is time consuming, but so far it seems to work.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
