    Hello all!

    Is there any possibility to create pipes or tube geometry along some spline (or poly-line) with puzzle? Poly-line/spline would be drawn in 3ds MAX or Blender.

    Here is one example what I mean:
    https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/geometries/TubeGeometry

    I have a project with “kilometers” of tubes and they consists of over million of polygons, which is too much for web-app.
    Instancing them don’t solve problem, because pipes are all different.

    If your pipes have repeating elements you can instance your pipes in blender only and reuse them multiple times. That will save weight of the binary file. If your pipes have original geonetry the only way is to make them as unique geometry.

    Thank You Mikhail! :good:

    So, if I make instances (some of them scaled in X-axis) in 3Ds max or Blender, Verge3D will recognize them as instance geometries and will make programmed instances?
    Like if I would later make instances (duplicates) with Verge3d puzzles?

    Yes, but this feature supported only for blender not 3ds max.
