Hi there,

I have a 3D object program which plots magnetic field lines (in 3D
space) as polylines. This is fine - but I would like to change it so
that they are coloured 'tubes' - polylines with a certain circular
cross section and a 'shiny' finish. The look I am after is the one
you often see with magnetic field topologies (Solar magnetic fields
models etc.)

Simple question is: does anyone know how to do this - or could they
point me to a ready-made procedure.

Thanks in advance,

George Millward

ps,
If, its not clear, the look I am after is demonstrated here:
