How to make rope wrap around a sphere?

I’m trying to make Tiki lamps like this:

But I don’t see a way to make the rope wrap around the part.
I have looked at this post, but it is talking about a cylinder, not a sphere. Rope around a cylinder can easily be achieved by making another cylinder. Does anyone know a way to do this or a plugin?

I think it would probably just be best to use a mesh for that. Alternatively, you could use RopeMaster Link and create cylinders and rotate them a bit.

You can experiment around with the rotational numbers in Archimedes and then place a sphere inside once you are done with the rope. The best option is to use blender however.

You cant use normal roblox ropes to do it. Since its unrendered and not-real time.

Use a plugin such as RopeMaster and do a rope around it.

I think it would be easiest to make something like that in blender.

^ Cloth physics in blender work great! try searching up some tutorials on youtube, it will teach you how to create the net too

If you want the exact look in the image then a mesh is the only way you could do it but if you want a more complete wrap around then a union or the rope plugin would work fine

blender would be the best option, however it does look possible to accomplish by using cylinders and spheres, It would be more difficult shaping them together though.

Also more geometry , not the most effective way

well you could union it but you run the risk of corruption and deterioration as the part count rises

I agree and, @ScriptingSausage because blender makes it easy, makes everything
