This sounds like a great idea, but what I’d really love is a Blender version of Neil Blevins’ Wire Jumble Max script:
(Info & image here)
Makes a user definable number of wires (lines) of variable thickness that travel through various target objects. Useful for making jumbles of wires that go from place to place in your scene without the need to model them, and provides more power in placement then the scatter compound object since it can give each wire a random thickness and allows multiple targets, not just an emitter object.
