Barb wire

Deforges

I'm trying to make a prop for a mod using the source engine and 3ds max. It's simple, barb wire spirals with two posts at the end. Many games I know have used planes to achieves this.


I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and came up with an easy way. I'm thinking about maybe a cylinder with an alpha map. My past few attempts haven't been to par.

Planes with a tiling alpha'd texture would be a good way to go. If you're using 3ds Max you could draw out a helix spline and convert it to geometry to get your coil of wire.
