bundles of wires, cables, tubes

sriesch

Does anybody know of any good thick bundles of wires/cables/tubes?  Actual 3D ones, not a 2D version.

They don't have to look exactly like the picture, they would be useful regardless of whether they were neat and orderly, splayed out or tangled or cut at one end, mixes of colors and thickness, wires, pipes, or evenly distributed into rows at one end, but it would be great if there were a large number of individual strands rather than just a handfull.

I know I can manually make them from individual wires and tubes, but a premade bundle would save zillions of hours of tedious work, I just wanted to see what my options were, if any.  I do have a few products with hoses and tubing mixed in that could be used in certain circumstances by hiding the other parts.  I know there was at least one product out there that had a bunch of tubing going into a central spot at one end, some kind of sci-fi lab, but can't remember what it was or if it work out well for something like this.

Could you use one of the hair products?

You'd still have to make the binding ties.

I have seen cables included with other sets, but I'd love an easy pose set of wires. If I see anyting I'll update your thread with what I find.

You could use something like this and retexture it: http://www.ShareCG.com/v/63819/view/11/Poser/Versatile-Tentacle-Figure

or this: https://web.archive.org/web/20090311011836/http://stefan-morrell.com/ click on the downloads at the bottom and see "Heavy Cable" Please note: I am able to download it with Chrome but get error messages with IE 10.

New freebie at Rendo https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/hs-hose-for-poser/76365 ; a posable hose which looks like it'd be very easy to turn into bundles of cables.

Combination of displacement and bump seems something to try.

I have this spiral rope braid thing that I find useful.

There are some good ideas here, I didn't think about displacement on a single tube nor hair for individual wires.  Interesting.
