See Graphics Gems - there is a paper on the calculation of reference frames along a space curve, which can be used to generate the required geometry.

Now I only need the pipes connection style of ANCON just like in "OpenGL 3D Pipes Screen Saver" in Windows Operation system.
And I have read the paper,But don not known how to apply it in my programme,I want to get some source code and study it.
