My Textured Cryo Tubes.

I tried to keep them looking like glass.

I used three passes of this texture on the inside cylinders (Tubes). Once for the texture map which is stretched on the Y to give it long lines, this imitates the long streaks. The 2nd for the normal map and the third is for the self-illumination map.

Texture on Tube

This texture is used on the top and bottom segments of the Cryotubes

I didn't end up using this because the massive wire in the middle made the tube look too comical.
