Maya tubes tutorial

Really useful tutorial on making wire like tubes in Maya. One useful tip that i've been trying to find for ages is the delete by type command (Edit-Delete by Type - then go to History). This can be used to delete things like bend or twist deformers whilst keeping the deformation applied to the shape, so you don't have to worry about grabbing the wrong handle.

Reason i've put this up is because i'm thinking about having a camera passing through a tube section, to look like the usb cable that connects the computer to the robot. Going to have to look at ways of perforating the tube to allow light to pass through it, so it's not just dark. Once i've got this footage i can bring it into after effects and overlay all sorts of typographic symbols.
