Modeling Electric Cords

Would someone point me in a good direction for a tutorial on modeling insulated wires? Could be anything, from a relatively small stuff like the USB cord attaching your mouse to your PC, or maybe a lamp or TV power cord.

I know that I can create a cylinder or a mesh like that and then deform it based on a curve, but things I do look like a newbie deforming a cylinder with a curve rather than actual electric wires. :frowning:

Take a look at this tutorial.
Or you need to see the blank wire too? Then i would use 2 arrays on the same curve, for inner and outer.

Hah! That looks like the bunny I’m looking for. I’ll watch it on my next break. Thank you. :slight_smile:
