  Laying cables

Hi,
not exactly new to povray, but not very much experience...

I have a scene where I have two points in space which I want to connect with
a cable. The points are (can be) absolute random in space, the orientation
from which direction the cable enters the point is also random.

The cable should follow a gentle, elegant curve from one point to the other,
giving it a natural look of a quite rigid, not very supple cable. (As a
matter of fact it's a coaxial cable, abt. 10mm thick in reality).

I know I can use a sphere_sweep in general, but how do I calculate the
points to follow from one point to another?


TIA,
Ekki, Germany
