I’ve created a scene with textured and meshed cylinder and a grid with line and vertices of three.js. The cylinder has a spinning effect by dragging mouse left or right.

I am referencing this thread
How do I convert this cylinder into 3d bending open ended pipe ?
perhaps try taking a look at this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/NCWYy/
