Let me save you a lot of time and say that the key to a good map is balanced gameplay and good looks. Hollow pipes have nothing to do with it.

Post by: Odin on August 08, 2008, 08:04:37 pm: Only problem is these pipes looks awkward at any value of r_subdivisions other than 4.

Post by: Taiyo.uk on August 08, 2008, 10:32:24 pm: Then you can make the pipe from a single cylinder patch (http://www.haosredro.com/mapping/pipe1.png). You need to add six rows to form the double rows needed to make the hard edges.
