Hello everyone,

Any recommendations on how to make a bundle of wires. Is it possible to make it by the means of physics or it is easier to make it by hand?

For the first image, you can use a bezier curve to make the loop and wire and then use the array modifier to duplicate it all around, stuff the middle with some duplicated wires and then just fix any intersecting wires that are in view of the camera.

For the second one you can model one segment and then just duplicate it with array.

Thanks for answers! The method proposed by RickyBlender is really helpful.
