How to Model a Rope in Blender

Reynante teaches us how to model a rope – it’s just four steps!
Reynante M. Martinez writes:After releasing Volume 3 of my Cycles Material Studies, I got a lot of questions on how I created the rope.
In this brief article, I’ll discuss how I achieved the model.
Have fun and I hope you learn something new. :)

.. and for texturing you could use cgtextures technique http://goo.gl/UIZcb4
