Default AC3D Bends and other question. thanks

Hi I recently downloaded the demo version of this software to devolp models for a 3D FPS game, I have been able to create objects such as craters/tables/beams etc etc basic items. The next item i was trying to make was a curved pipe, and couldnt seem to figure it out I made a cylinder and want to bend the middle of it outward.

Also is AC3D a good 3d modeller compared to the likes of Milkshape 3D etc, as im thinking about buying the software

The best way to make pipes or wires is to extrude an elipse along a path. Draw a line in the shape of pipe or wire and place the elipse at the end. In object mode select the elipse then shift-select the line. Click on "object" Extrude along path.

Have Fun
