  Cables, cables and more of same

  Posted by Greg Serafin on November 22, 2005 at 1:28 am

  Hi gang,
  Seems like the cable modelling season is on – strange…
  I am trying to model a phone type of a cable, twisted, handset cable.
  A helix following a spline I guess.
  Is there a way to draw the “path” spline (out of the phone, across the table, up over a phone-book, and to the handset) and then make the helix follow it?

  TIA

  There’s a plugin specifically for this: https://xlentplugs.com/
  A little pricey for a one-trick pony.

  I believe this one will do the same trick plus a lot more for about the same cost: https://www.tarabella.it/c4d/pathdeformer/

  Thanks for that,
  Considering the type of the project (free…)
  I will probably spend some time with deformers.
  I will however check the plugins – thanks again.
