Creating a power cord

Christopher Tyler Jan, 6th 2016 0 Comments
This modeling tutorial deals with creating a path extrude object that is similar to a typical power cord. It shows a technique of deriving a path that has imperfections which look like a semi-rigid cord with irregularities. The technique uses a path extrude object, the decimation tool and a bit of polygon editing.
