You can also look for info about "cloth wrap" or "tape wrap" modeling. For example https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/70106/how-to-model-medical-cloth-wrapping And for the rough effect of the fibers, I'd recommend a bump map approach rather than attempting to use polygons. -

Comparing the concept to hilt wrapping tutorials: it looks like there's at least two strips of fabric that are looped around to make a four strand braid. The two loops spiral back and forth across each other and the wrap is tighter at the top and looser at the bottom. One thing to watch out for is a change in perceived… -

I just can't wrap my head around it. I can see I've made a few bad decisions here, but it's not yet clear how I'm supposed to fix it. -

@naman When modeling formed textile products it's often a lot easier to develop the basic shapes first then collapse the subdivision so there's enough starting geometry to place the seams, folds, darts, channels, tufts, etc. then use those edges as a starting point for modeling the rest of the details. Here's an example of… -

@SoldatenkoDmitry Most smoothing artifacts on curved surfaces can generally be traced back to adding or removing edges in a way that disrupts the segment spacing of the curve or unintentionally deforming the underlying curvature of the surface when editing the mesh. Though it is possible to compensate for these types of… -

Here is how I do wraps, probably not the best way, and is a bit of a cheat as it doesn't truly wrap around, but here is what I do (and this is in zbrush, not maya, so might be totally useless) -

Agreed, a non destructive method to achieve a braided weave, leveraging splines: https://polycount.com/discussion/135471/katana-grip-wrapping-help#Comment_2075571 ...and simplified: https://polycount.com/discussion/135471/katana-grip-wrapping-help#Comment_2076253
