Terry, I haven't seen any hose ends from you.  Maybe you're waiting until I
publish the spreadsheet to do them yourself.  I'll probably continue testing
until the middle of next week, then if I continue to get good results I'll
publish the spreadsheet and instructions for use.  Then I'll work on one for
the Technic hoses and maybe even pneumatic tubing.  There's also someone
interested in creating a program to do hoses, so hopefully we can
collaborate and make it happen.

I thought I sent a reply through email, but that could have gotten messed up
(geocities mail is screwed up)
I don't have those original hose files I used.  But I will extract the ends
from the model dat file and send them to you.

I'm the one that pointed Wolfie to you and Steve to see about working together.
He seems to have some good skills in programming - hopefully you all can work
wonders.  :-)

I am interested in seeing how your version, using the hose pieces, compares to
what I did with the spheres.  Cause, in my opinion, those sphere hoses look
awful damn good.  Plus, there are no problems with aligning individual
segments.

But, how do the sphere-based hoses look rendered by LDraw and LDLite?

(...) to (...) There's the rub. I think by making the hose segments more realistic, I can improve the results in POV-Ray without losing the nice look in LDraw. -John Van (25 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Not _great_ but not too bad, especially in ldlite: (URL) I am sure that John can tweak the parts to improve the looks. -- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 30-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
