  Hi, Paul. If you are using the Windows platform there is the unofficial
version of POV-Ray called Superpatch, compiled by Ron Parker. It has a patch
called sphere sweeps, by Jochen Lippert. It can generate smooth pipes with a
constant cross-section at the bends.

  Jochen Lippert also has a tutorial page but I cannot recall the .url.
