seyahmit Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I am trying to create a texture in 3dsmax for a twisted steel cable...kind of like guy wire on a power pole. Any ideas/tutorials would be very helpful. I will be applying it to a renderable spline. Thanks alot. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Alexander Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 You could try a procedural map, gradient or gradient ramp. Tile the snot out of it and rotate the U & V coords to your taste simulating the angled twists. I just used this method for something similar but not to renderable splines. Use the map for the bump also. Cheers WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
