Default Re: rope challenge

I had to do a fancy bow ribbon and wracked my brain for a long time.
I ended up doing a spline and when I got it exactly how I wanted, I converted it to a poly, applied a UVWMap modifier, and then put a nice, silky texture on it.

I'm thinking the same thing could be done for rope.
Top view, draw a straight line/spline with a lot of verts, then start twisting it with the handles.

Just an idea, but I'd love to hear what else others come up with.
