Hi All,
Could anyone please help, I,m trying to texture a pre war
swedish telephone specifically the cord from the handset.
They were kinda like a braid type outer cloth with a rubber
inner, the phones completed but I,m stumped as to going
about the cord.
Would it be best to model the cord has a tube then deform
to the handset making it easy to uv map, or better still has
anyone used a similar technique on another project. I really
would like to get this surface done just right has the rest is
mainly chrome and china with a small glass dial plate.

Any help really appreciated Alan.
