A while ago I improved the original pipes, increasing the number of sides from 5 to 8. Well it's not 2005 any more. Today, I can bring you the news that I've thrown off the shackles of something and have created a new set of pipes with a whopping 16 sides! The golden age of pipes has arrived, although these pipes are grey, but the age is definitely golden and that's the main thing.

Pfft, by then we would be making levels with 128 sided brushes. Imagine the awesomeness! :p

Thanks for pointing that out. The orginal pipe06 has a group of points floating around, and mine didn't, causing the offset problem. I've fixed that, and tweaked the UV mapping along with pipe04. I didn't realise pipe08 was jointed, so I've set that up now too. The download link is the same as before.

In LS5 part 2 I used multiple pipes in series but the lighting caused one pipe to be affected by the light while the next was not. I cut out the joint portion of a pipe and made that a separate object, and the used that where two pipes met end to end. I used that joint object to hide the ends of the consecutive pipes and it helped by hiding the light effect right at the end of the pipe.
