Hi All,

I have a scene that generates lines. I want to convert those lines into thin tubes.

What series of nodes would I use?

I thought I could just use a sweep with a circle, but that did not work?

I am attaching my scene and the screen shot has some highlight where I am trying to implement the lines to tubes.

The squared off white lines you see in the render are the graphic elements I am trying to turn into tubes (i.e. I want to make them thinner).

This scene is basically the tutorial found here:

try polywire

Thanks, PolyWire did the trick. It gave me a radius I could lower to make a thin line.

I am seeing some normal shadowing on the ends of each line, however. Is there a technique for cleaning that up?

Also I have tried subdivide on the font node but I still have a fairly block font.

Try adjusting the Level of Detail on the Font SOP.
