Hi guys
I am looking for a macro or include that I can use to create braids or
tassels, like those you might find on a battle-standard or an altar cloak.
Or, any suggestions how I can make these myself? I've want to try and make
a rug with braided tassels at the edges.
Thanks,

Djembe, braids, tassels, foobars... You might want to add some description
for non-native-english speakers ;)
After looking up distionary, if by tassels You mean "dick", then I suggest
some blobs - they are good for organic shapes ;) and if You ment that
thingies hanging around end of materials/ropes thne perhaps use some
splines and/or isosurfaces to create generic shape, then use new Fur future
from MegaPov to create material?

:) - ok those hairy thingies at the edge of a carpet.

Tassels = genitals in Polish?!

I was thinking that something simple like a spiral of spheres, each "strand"
starting a little bit rotated out of position might look nice. But splines
might be an idea too... thanks!

ang-pol
tassel (Ectaco-Poland)
v,
1 kutas
2 kita (that is - furr tail of animal, like rabbit)
5 pompon (simmilar - but used ar end of some hats)
And the word "kutas" currently means "dick", but some time ago it was used
like 4-th meaning above - this harry thingy at end of ropes for example.

Yeap, generate a points by rotation, put them onto spline (or not) and
finaly use in sphere_sweep imho.

Sound's like you're trying to reinvent the helix.
#declare R1=0.3;
#declare R2=0.2;
#declare W=R1+R2;
isosurface {
function { f_helix1(x,y,z,4,4,R2,R1,1,1,0) }
max_gradient 1.5
contained_by{box{ <-W,-1,-W><W,1,W>}}
pigment {rgb 1}
}
For something slightly more braid-like, try this:
#declare R1=0.3;
#declare R2=0.2;
#declare W=R1+R2;
isosurface {
function { f_helix1(x,y,z,4,4,R2,R1,1,1,0)
+ f_helix1(x,y,z,4,-4,R2,R1,1,1,0) *0.2}
max_gradient 1.5
contained_by{box{ <-W,-1,-W><W,1,W>}}
pigment {rgb 1}
}

Exactly! Thanks Mike - I think this is what I was looking for.

Yeah. As usual, I had the tool but didn't realise I could use it for this as
well.
Thanks!
