3ds Max: Wires.. Not Wire Frame.. Wires

[anthony]

Good day'

 

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a plugin or some sort of really, really effective technique to make wires? Splines and such is taking too long as is really annoying

 

 

 

I have to create a lot of wires and doing them individualy and then putting waves, bend etc into it is a really slow and gureling proess in which I'd love to avoid

hold on i'll take a screen shot, its not a plugin its an option

 

 

now that i think of it you are asking somthing differnt, oh well i already have the screenshot if this is what your looking for.

Yeah im lookin for making wires.. think of the amout of wires a psu amout of wires

[TRex]

have you tried to clone?

[anthony]

I want them all to be slightly different... so it looks more natural

 

edit: and easily manipulateable like cloth

well i don't really remember 3ds that much, i've got into cinema 4d

 

but maybe this will help...*shrug*

 

make a regular spline, and a circle.

 

 

slide both of them under a "sweep nurbs" object, with the circle above the freehand spline.

 

 

 

 

enjoy =)

 

 

maybe there might be something similar with 3ds, it's been ages since i used it, back when version 5 was "new".

3dmax 8 is out now im amazed how they can shovle number after number every year

i've never actually done it, but getting a long thin cylinder to follow a nurbs spline path is one easy method...
