Hi guys!

I was thinking about to render some biomechs - lol - but I'm not sure how to get wires/cables into Vue. I usually model objects in Wings but I'm looking for an easier way to get especially cables.

In my latest pic I used resized cylinders to make thick cables so I could do that but I'm not totally satisfied; it consumed much memory using hundreds of primitives. (cylinders)

In Bryce someone made 300 metaballs and linked them to a movie track/time line - lol - and it worked perfectly as a movable cable...I'm just looking for similar solutions if you have any...or suggestions about a cheap software that can make cables in an easy way; thanks!
