There are various solutions, as others have stated above. Anything hose or wire is going to have to be fiddled with, they are just kinda difficult by nature. Use Metaballs. Do it in Photoshop in post work. Use a free modeling program (metasequioa) If you have Poser there are free posable ropes which can be used. AgentSmith
