    If your using max, there is built in objects which are just a tube..

    Im taking a stab that your using milkshape.. so to do it.. make a cylinder.. and delete the caps of it (the lids), then duplicate and scale it to the inside of the O. then flip the normals. and create the poly's to cap it off.

    Done & Done.

    MIlkshape 1.7.0

    Tools -> extended primitives -> 3D objects -> o/tourus lowres

    or in ms3d you can make a stacked cylinder and for each stack would be each place where you would curve it, if ya get what i mean

    use the decompiler in milkshape and open a v_model reference. uncheck all the boxes execpt skeleton and itll only give you the skeleton
