And it is released!

Looks very nifty! Can we expand the width of the pipe mid-pipe as well? Or should I use some other tools to (meshgrabber or the geometry editor or something) for such tweaks? Or is that going to be a future add-on if this tool works out? Special pipe segments, like X, T and Y junctions, thickening morphs, end connections, etc.

No, Pipe Dream cannot expand the width of the pipe mid-pipe.  You would have to use something else.

Marshian

Hi Drip. I made the pipe and corner props very low poly so they would be more lightweight in the scene. The mesh is not dense enough where you can manipulate just the middle of the pipe. It would be easy to replace a section of the pipe with a more dense cylinder though, use the included shaders to give it the same look.

Can the pipe array be made as a wardrobe follower?  If I encase someone with these will they move with the person?

For that matter, is everything moving in a 2d plane or does it do 3d as well?

Marshian

The pipes are just static props and are not rigged. I suppose they could be made to follow a figure as you can choose to grow them as actual 3d models or instances. Someone who knows how to build clothing would know for sure. They grow across a flat plane so if you ran the script several times you could reorganize them to fill a 3d space. Check out the promo I made of the pipes going up steps 

Artini

Wow - another brilliant idea and its realisation by both of you - congratulations.

Will have a lot of fun exploring the script usage, particularly Pipe Road.

Below is my first example usage.

Artini

Another pipe construction...

Marshian

Thanks Artini.

So good to see these, what you've done, and how the shaders are rendering. 

Artini

Thanks, Marshian. I am enjoying your products all the time.

I am always curious, what will be your next product and after it is released, usually is something exiciting and unusual.

Together with RiverSoftArt, you are such a powerful combo - please continue your voyage with him.

 

Artini

I find these neon shaders fascinating, especially when applying them to the pipes.

Now I understand, why we have so many neons in the cities - it is pure fun to design them and see them in action afterwards.

Below is another example...

These are all great @Artini!  I love them! 

Artini

Thanks a lot, RiverSoftArt.
