How to do tubes and cables in Daz

privatepixels99

So we have amazing assets like Eve 3022.... but how do we do those cables?

I'm guessing I'd have to roundtrip to and from a modeller like Blender (or use Ron's brushes in post which is sub-optimal in far too many ways).

Just hoping there's some arcane magic incantation for doing it in Daz...

Make a curved line in Hexagon, add thickness, slap on a planar uvmap, make a Shading Domain/Material - send it over to D/S, fix the Shading Domains, Save the prop file. Probably took me longer to type this than it would to do all that ;-)
