• After more than 30 years running websites and forums I am retiring.

    I have made many friends through the years. I will cherish my time getting to know you. I wish you all the best. This was not an easy decision to make. The cost to keep the communities running has gotten to the point where it's just too expensive. Security certificates, hosting cost, software renewals and everything else has increased threefold. While costs are up ad revenue is down. It's no longer viable to keep things running.

    All sites will be turned off on Thursday 30 November 2023. If you are interested in acquiring any of the websites I own you can Email Schwarz Network.

Of course. Please post the code you have so far and explain which step you are having trouble with or what aspect of the task you don't understand. That way we know exactly what you need help with.

Have you tried to code it on your own?

Yes, snarfblam is right...a few more coding details would be helpful.

For instance, there is a Mesh.Torus Method
which could produce a 3D pipe that is curved into a 3D circle (torus),
(but I'm not sure if that's what you want).

If it is a fairly complex set of twisty-turny 3D piping sections
you might want to use something like Blender
to generate the necessary .X file(s),
and bring it into DirectX to render it programmatically
using the 3D person Viewport method described here.

The other approach might be to "Draw 3d Ring object" (or series of 3D ring objects)
using a ID3DXPatchMesh structure for tessellation.
