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?

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.

Well, if your hose-maker keeps the segments a constant distance apart,
all that is needed is the spheres and then circles positioned where the
spheres intersect.

If the segment-to-segment distance varies, never mind.  Keep doing what
your doing.
