3D tube

Hi,
I wondered if any kind person, with skills greater than mine, could make me a 3d tube model that has bends up/down,left right etc. I want to texture the inside to create a worm hole effect, if you have played bejewelled you will know the effect i am trying to acheive.

Do it yourself with milkshape. After all, this is a life skill, and very easy. Stop relying on other people for fear of touching a modelling package or putting some sweat in.

There is code in the archive (thats what I used as a starting point for Vorboils).

Cheers for the link, thats exactly what i want. Great piece of coding.

Out of interest what are you plans for it?

I am currently working on a space strategy game, along the lines of Risk, and wanted a nice effect for when players warp to another galaxy.

You could create a donut shape, and simply rotate the player, whilst spinning it. Make sure the player is inside the donut part tho ;o)

Good idea but you would have wasted rendering on the polygons that are on the outside of the donut, a tube without any enclosed polygonal space would be better.
