So let's go ahead and get started. So I have my blank pulley and my objects in this scene, and as you can see it's a very simple scene. We have a ground plane, the pulley, a bracket, a little sphere, and the weight. So let's go ahead and start off by drawing a curve which will become our rope. So I'm going to go into a side view here, and I'm just going to create a CV Curve. And so I'm going to start here at the top of the weight and then just draw basically a straight line almost up to the pulley and then kind of get that line going around the pulley, and then just stretch it out to that sphere.
