Anyone have any ideas about this?

For the renders in this model
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=33026 I used a spreadsheet to
work out positions for 4-4cyli.dat primitives to create 1/4 and 1/2 torii, and
then just long 4-4cyli.dats for the straight sections. There are now torus
primitives available in ldraw, it may be easier to use them.

Failing that, I did once use pnuematic hose with lsynth to simulate thick
string, and that looked ok too.

(...) You rendered that?! Oh my goodness, that looks real! That is some awesome work. Did you lose Lgeo models for the heads to make them look smooth? (19 years ago, 13-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
