You know you have been tracing too long when you mentally tear every image,
object, and thing down to Pov primitives, which is what I did when I saw
your image.

The pipe thingie looks as though it were extruded along an imperfect path. I
could extrude along a spline, but I would probably use a union of primitives
and a torus (or two). Blobs could be used as well.

I model complex objects with a modeller myself, but this scene has a simpler
look to it. No offense intended. The colors and composition make the image
worthwhile!

No offence taken...the scene was *definitely* not an example of my
modeling skills. I was simply doing a radiosity test, trying to figure
out what setting do worked. The colors were chosen cause they would
bleed nicely from one to another so I could actually see the radiosity
working. The pipes curve was not imperfect, I think that it was that I
didn't use set Rhino to use enough poly's for the export. Either that
or it was a radiosity issue....I guess I could simply spotlight it (no
rad) and re-render and see if it shows up again. Might it be a
(flipped) normal problem? blah blah blah need caffeine. Thanks for the
feedback.

sphere_sweep{

    4,
    <0,0,0>, 1
    <2,0,0>, 1
    <0,0,4>, 1
    <2,0,4>, 1
}

+ appropriate CSG to make the end caps
