The pipes got a more organic look than I intended, but perhaps that's not
a bad thing in the end. Perhaps it just adds to the surrealism.

Are you training to build submarines? :-)

Not sure, can’t tell you but the skipper was Captain Horatio Pugwash.

Very cool looking. The angle makes me inadvertently tilt my head to try to
level the horizon. Is it a random algorith of sorts? You do have a few closed
loops (that'll really frustrate the plumbers...)

Wow, holy Truchet 3d uber-madness! It's already pretty amazing, but with a few
contrasting realistic texture layers this would be /totally/ amazing.
Nice!

A Klingon sewer!
I am sure the algorithm is both complex and surprisingly simple ;-) I like
the tilted view.

I think the organic look comes from the texture finish, which combined
with the convoluted turns, make it looks like intestines. Very
nightmarish, indeed...

Looks pretty cool; you post more often :)
All it needs now is a model of Mario in the background, scratching his head :D

Yes, the algorithm is very simple, but I'm keeping it to myself
because I'm mean. :P

Well sorry to spoil Warps secret, but its a tile based algoritm, ie, a
square with 2 curved pieces of pipe, like the pic attached called
pipe-tile.png.
I've done this before with a floor pattern so when I saw warps post I
immediately knew how he did it. I also did a similar image, also attached
called pipes-small.png (this is a shrunk image from 1920x1080).
Anyway, you place lots of these tiles in a grid, but randomly rotate each
one either 90, 180 or 270 degrees. That way each pipe lines up with another
and gives you a totally random path. Stick some flanges in there and you
have spaghetti plumping!
Warp also layered several tile grids on top of each other to give depth.
Warp, I hope you aren't too annoyed that I let the cat out of the bag!
Cheers Dre

Yeah, I think that was just the typical Warp sarcasm, not such a secret really,
which is why I said, "Wow, holy Truchet 3d uber-madness!"
Because this is just a Truchet-like tiling pattern similar to what I used
back in POV-Comp 2004 ("Pathways"), or even the variation I used for
"Dominion" a few years back...

Except that my tile is not as simplistic as yours, if you compare my
original image with yours.
My basic tile looks like this:

Nice image, I like it.
I've allways wanted to try one in 3D, just one of things on my very very
long list!

Ha, thats pretty neat. Tiles with 2 pipes connections on each side gives
you a whole new set of things to play with. Say multiple different tiles to
mix and rotate, that would give you even more chaos!
Thanks for letting your secret out!

Warp, Dre, Robert, you are well thanked indeed. I forgot about truchet, and
it is so obvious now :-)
One day I shall have to experiment with this too.
