I'm looking to create a tube with an effect like the following - the cylindrical segments which come together to make a pipe. I was wondering how this might be achieved; You could layer ellipsis with lighting effects over each other, but does anyone know of an alternative method to achieve?
Yes, it looks something like a hoover pipe.
Make the basic appearance of the tube with Illustrator's pattern feature.
Then you can add the fancy pancy stuff (like glows, bevels and shadows) in Photoshop.
