Eric2575 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 What is the best way to approach the decaling of a coiled rope? Up to this point I have only needed to decal rope a couple of time and then only one length at a time. Now that I am modeling the Spanish Galleon: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32733&hl= , I have a ton of rope to decal. I used to take the rope model, create a pose, and then straighten the rope in the pose to apply the cylindrical rope decal. This works great for one or two pieces of rope, but now I have so many pieces and coiled rope to boot. I wonder if you could decal a staright piece of rope first and then coil it? Maybe in an action or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luuk Steitner Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Maybe applying a tileable (cylindrical) decal with the rope veins already in the correct direction would do the trick. That would be my first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
