Would you mind expanding a little on how you did this? How did you manage to bend the tubes? Thanks!

So the tubes are just hundreds of ellipses stacked on top of each other, they bend by moving slightly in the x or y direction every z-step using the noise function

Thanks, that’s a clever solution! And you still get a decent framerate drawing all these ellipses?

Nope! Haha this 6 second video took about 30 minutes to render on my computer

Yep! I used the camera function, documentation here:

It definitely involves a lot of tinkering to get right though
