Trying to use Carrara to create a twisted rope. I have not had much success since it seems to squeeze the rope in the middle when you rotate one end of a group of cylinders. I am using a spline object of three cylinders grouped with the Geometry, using extrusion method, pipeline and then twisting one section. It works sortof and can be used to make great screws but there doesn't seem to be a way to maintain the geometry as it is twisted around the center. Ideas?
