Rope Ends and tiny pieces of thread

[Valentino]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to figure out how to add this random end strands on a piece of rope proceduraly. I am attaching my solution as to how to create the piece of rope. I wonder if there is a way to add a ramp to control the size of SCALE of the sweep node 

and also should i use fur to add little bits of fuzz or tiny threads like here?

I've attached a file showing the basic sweep ramp and some variation at rope ends. You could create this variation with a ramped twist or roll instead. I can't resist some Vex though

The Sweep SOP in qLib has this plus many other features built-in - https://github.com/qLab/qLib

cool! I reached a similar point today and added some fur to it. Don't know if its the correct way, still working on it to create some really cool rope for macro shots.

 

would like to add some randomization on the ends since now mine is really symmetrical
