Made in 3d studio max.
It was made from a box and i just kept cutting away. I had to look at my psx contoller to figure out how to cut the plastic on the 3d model.
The way i did the phone cord.
1. Make a small part of the spiral using 'spring'. 1 turn only.
2. Then draw out how you want your phone cord to look.
3. Make sure the spring has geometry and is not a spline.
4. now animate it along the line you drew.
5. use "snapshot" and it will copy the object a buch of times along the path.
I've never made it like that before.
