-- Pipes -- Back to tutorial index

Overview: This will show you how to make pipes with sweep nurbs and splines.

Step 1: Make a Spline in any direction you want.

Step 2: Now click the circle next to the spline (see it above) and also make a sweep nurbs (OBJECTS > NURBS > SWEEP NURBS)

Step 3: Now drag and drop the spline THEN the circle in to the sweep nurbs, then you can change the radius of the circle to whatever you like, in my example i made it 5 m.

Thats it! The spline is the path and the circle is the radius. This method can be used in many differnet situations.

If you recall i said drop the spline first? Well this is what happens if you drop the circle first
