Gimp-users, Can anyone recommend any tutorials|pages|howto's on creating tubes or pipes (e.g., metal pipes, brass tubes) within the GIMP?
I've been creating them by feathering a square select, stroke'ing the line with a thick brush, then selecting the shape and filling it with a shapeburst gradient. I'll then add a transparent black-to-white shapeburst overlay layer to give it depth. But for some reason, the corners look very jaggy. I've been blurring the corners to give them a more anti-aliased look, but they end up looking like crap, for lack of a better word. Is there a better way of creating tubes|pipes within the gimp? Other programs offer plugins that specifically create tubes|pipes. Any suggestions are appreciated. I love the GIMP, and am very close to weening myself away from PS (even under Windows! ;).
