I was wondering how you can create a dangling rope or cable effect in bryce? I've tried using massive ammounts of metaballs but it seems to still have that subtle "segmented" look. Im probably just missing some basic technique. Anybody know of any tutorials for this?

Go for Madmax's SmartPipe... It's in Freestuff, and everyone here that's used it loves it. Its a string of connected metaballs with handles to pull and flex it, find yourself a rope texture and youre set!

Brycetech had some rope models and a brief explanation of how he did them. I don't see them at his site right now, but you can always IM and ask.
