A remake of the Windows pipes screensaver using Three.js

Original pipes didn't have knots did it? And there's some pipes that come out through other pipes which I don't think happened in the original. Very cool implementation though.

As in spheres at the corners? I remember it having those. Some corners had them and some didn't, same as in this.

I think it was a setting.

Yep: http://i.imgur.com/mWXqZh0.png

"Elbow" is just an L-shaped joint. "Ball" is the spheres. "Mixed" is a random choice per-joint. "Cycle" means successive screens will use different choices.

Given your tweets I had expected a screenshot in a browser ;)

Trying to preview 3D Pipes on win95.ajf.me causes a timeout, alas.

I think it only had spheres to terminate each pipe.

Old pipes did, but this version allows pipes to self-intersect, which might be what's throwing you off.
