shouldn’t be a bad way to do it.

Modeling would be fairly complex but it can be done with sub poly displacement
-
it can be done in C4D like this (old but valid, I think)
https://www.maxoncomputer.com/tutorial_detail.asp?tutorialID=243and with the plugin ShadowCatcher in post like this
https://www.grafxflow.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=161.msg427it can be done with multipass too, I think, but it looks like a bear – tell me if I’m wrong cause it’s always good to learn a new way.

I’m guessing you are using a Spline Rotation but even if not you have to get the Up Vector (down in the Spline section) correct for the object you are wrapping to move the way you want.

load the images into the background of the various viewports by using the Configure command in the viewports Edit menu and then go the the Back tab.

I tried some tests with Hair’s Spline Dynamics but I was getting bad behavior of the spline between the ends.
I don’t have any more time but my next guesses would be bones (let them separate for the rubber keep them connected for the steel) the problem would be the chunkiness the bones would give to the look of the ropes.
So maybe Cloth, fix the one end and belt the other to the buoy, control the stretch (or not) with the cloth properties

what mix of PC’s and Macs in the NET setup? GI and particles, among other things, can be different if different computer types are mixed (mostly due to different Floating Point units as I understand it)

you can add a noise to a Volumetric visible light via the transparency channel of a material like this …but it is slow… the Movement in the Layer/Noise is not totally necessary only the Animation Speed I think. There may be better ways.

you’d probably have to use Sub-Poly displacement to get the texture to limit itself to the selection
