Hi guys,
I need to design something in POV RAY for a school project, but I am quite a
newcomer to the software. If I could get help from any of you, it would be
amazing. I am looking for the following design, a spiral pipe that is similar to
the one in the background of the attached image. The code for the pipe includes
a "dots.txt" file that I have, where the first number indicates the quantity of
dots contained in the file, and then each point is a 3D vector that defines
bottom and cap of a series of cylinders that form the "walls" of the pipe. The
first pair of cylinders are in the dots 1 and 51 and 1 and 52, and the second
par of cylinders are in the dots number 2 and 52 and 2 and 53. And so on.
If I could get help from any of you I would appreciate so so much. I am a good
graphic designer and photographer, I can edit and retouch images like a pro so I
offer my services as a possibility of service exchange ;)

Should be a pretty straightforward scene of a few cylinders.

I'd look at this thread:
http://news.povray.org/povray.windows/thread/%3Cweb.58d90246d665dbbed33c50560%40news.povray.org%3E/
so you can see how data is read from a file and used in a scene.
Also, wiki.povray.org has all of the current documentation, so you can search
for keywords and see what syntax they use, sometimes with examples.
If you post the dots.txt as an attachment, then it would be a lot easier to see
what needs to be done.
