Creating Realistic Rope in Blender 2.8

In this Video I demonstrate how to create a realistic hemp rope non-destructively using modifiers in Blender 2.8.
This tutorial assumes you are already familiar with the blender 2.8 User Interface and have a working knowledge of how to add and modify materials and simple particle systems.
Rope is a classic asset in many scenes and it's useful to have a model on hand for when it's needed. You could even create a low-poly tube and array it to the same curve as the rope, baking the high-poly rope to it for use in a game engine!
Common hemp rope is perfect for lassos, ship sails, pulley systems, castle building, and much more.
I've created tileable textures that you can use for making your own rope, they can be found here - drive.google.com/file/d/1V69V... - Blender uses the Non-DirectX variant for the normal map.

Started learning Blender a few weeks ago and need to do a rope. Thank for making a tutorial that can be used for most use cases! Amazing!

[@Tiki_Media]

Quite a brilliant method and interesting video. Thank you for sharing your techniques. The world gets more capable because of people like you!

[@justinoliver77]

Great job. Love how you explain why you do things like the gamma curve result on non-color nodes. I don't think I've ever heard a tutorial that explains why they do it. Subbed.

[@samohickey]

This has been an excellent tutorial just for using a spline in my modeling! LOVE IT! Thank you so much. :D

[@moegasim]

The tutorial is spot on...very well explained....the hair particle ...AMAZING trick....perfect.

[@Oveyz]

A bit too fast in places, but that's a great tutorial anyway. I wish you'd taken more time showing your actions during the particule set-up, but I loved you explaining the reasons behind ticking boxes, instead of just brushing it off.

[@fullspeedman]

That right. It’s a great tutorial but to fast for my old eyes. Switch speed by properties in TH-cam to 0.5 or lower.

[@drumboarder1]

@@fullspeedman on PC and I assume Mac you can use the comma and period keys to go frame by frame.
Most of the tutorial I had at 2x speed but the hair section I'm at 0.25 and still struggling.. I'm not new to blender or 3d modelling by any means but jesus christ having the commentary out of sync with what's happening on screen and having it sped up at normal playback is a nightmare

[@freckledbri]

in places? this was one of those tutorials that was so brisk that if you could hang with it, the explanation was likely not needed lol.

[@aaronjohnson4604]

Just replying to the “it’s too fast comments”
This is where advanced tutorial learning is different than school. The point of tutorials is for you to watch, pause, play around with settings, and your own creative design, and then push play when your ready to go to the next part.
Also, save your file and experiment a bit!

[@jozseflaszlo7445]

Fast? I had to watch this on 2.0x speed just because I was in a hurry and didn't have the time nor patience to get to the point.

[@Skyletwings]

There are no words to describe just how incredibly awesome this tutorial is, in all aspects! Just perfect - I wish every instruction video was so concise and helpful. Thanks a lot!

Nice quick, concise, and thorough tutorial. The only criticism I would offer is to scale up the Interface in Preferences. Its almost unreadable even at 1080p.
