Hi There!

Can anyone tell me how Bows, draw strings are made? When I say bows, I mean like on bikini's or sneakers when you tie your shoes and the final result is a bow. If anyone could tell me how to do it, I will greatly appreate it :) Thank you in advance.. :)

If you want to make a bow out of prims, that's a somewhat complex modeling job, but it's not terribly difficult. You can use cut touruses and cylinders for the loops, and a thicker torus or a dimpled sphere for the knot.

A better way to do it though is just to use a texture, especially if the bow is going on a piece of clothing. A picture of a bow can look much better, and will be much more economical than using a "real" bow.
