Hi,
I'm trying to model electronic wires connected between different points on surfaces in an organic manner. I've attached a couple of example photos for reference and was curious if anyone had any recommendations on how to go about creating this.

My first instinct is to model the cables using particle systems and trails but one of my problems is that when I add noise to the cables, they sometimes intersect one another. Is there a way to avoid trails from intersecting one another within a particle system or once the geo has been created? I imagine there must be a way to separate curves within a specified distance of one another…

Or is there a better way to go about approaching this in general?

Thanks for your help

use the interact POP to keep the particles away from each other

once you have curves, run them through DOPs as wires and play with the Volume Offset
