Well here I am again. I know how to make a cable and bend curves and angles in it but what I need to do is a little more complex. I live in the great state of Texas and am building a site for a rope company. I would like to make a rope graphic in the shape of Tx. What would be the easiest way to do this? start out will a stright peice of rope and start to bend it around the shap? Or start out with the shape and turn it into the rope? One of the small problems I am having is the rope itself. Making metal cable or wire is easy but making that look like rope is a bitch. I have found a tut on making a coil of rope but again getting it in the shape of texas is harder than I thought it would be. What you guys think?
