No offense Sewerrat. It wasn't posted to show off any fancy rendering technique. I just posted it to show the model, her costume and put her in some sort of situation and to show how flexible the suit is. If I were going to do this as a snazzy pic I'd do it in Bryce. As for the ropes. The ropes are bracelets and anklets. Larger versions were attached to the posts. I use photoshop to connect them. The ropes were posted at one time but Willow had removed them (even though she allowed metal medievil cuffs but don't get me started).
