  How to model a realistic rope ?

Hi,

I would like to know how to model a rope?

I have tried various combinations of interwined coils, but
the result is not realistic enough. Also, I would like to be
able to make the rope follow any path (e.g. a spline). So
basically, I need to figure out what an elementary part of
a rope could be modelled as, and then I can use a macro
to actually duplicate this elementary part along the path.
(much like one creates a hanging chain out of small links)

Cheers.
Maxime.
