In that way you are not bound to the final shape and you can modify it until you are satisfied. When you use the standard bones for that and you are satisfied with the result, simply click the "split into hierarchical and IK linked branches". This makes the skeleton disappear, and leaves just the deformed cable mesh. Post by notejam // Mar 16, 2008, 7:18pm notejam Total Posts: 191 Make a box. Scale the box as small as you can. Extrude from the end of the box by selecting that face, and then the extrude tool. Make the wire as long as you want. Then use subdivision serface tool to change box shape wire into round wire.
