hey guys 
i try to create a rope with curves and modifiers where i can change thickness, length at any time by changing the modifier settings.
i thought the easiest way would be to:
- create a curve path
- give the curve thickness
- add an array modifier set to 3 to create 2 additional curves
- deactivate relative in the array modifier, set it to object offset instead and create an empty which i move and rotate to have 3 curves in a circular pattern
- add a simple deform “twist” and set it to 360°
- add another array set to relative and increase the number to make the rope longer
- deform the resulting rope with a curve modifier
unfortunately i can’t make it twist enough to make it look like a rope.
i attached the file so you can see what i mean.
does anyone have a solution that works?
cheers christian
