The title explains itself, it's a remastering of the smb3 pipes making them seem smoother, more realistic while making sure they aren't pillow shaded and no 1x1 pixels exist. An image and download link can be found in the spoilers below. If the tileset becomes popular, updates may be made featuring other pipe colours, small pipes and pipe turn blocks.

Note: Due to the use of pipe ends on both sides of the pipe, along with some pipe tiles not existing previously. A tileset has been added for PGE and SMBX 2.0 users for easier use, while users of the original SMBX can find the new tiles within the SMB3 and SMW pipes.

That looks pretty good. I might use this later. Great job with the remastering!

They are pretty smooth indeed. I like it.

It looks like a pipe that was made for the legend of Zelda, I love it!

Thanks! I designed them to look smooth since the ends of the vanilla SMB3 pipes looked like blocks. It was pretty hard to figure out how to deal with the added depth due to the lack of smb3 pipe ends having any and, as said before, looking blocky. But the SMW pipes had 2 (8 if you count 1x1) pixels and I could change the m file prioritising this to make the pipe ends. Thankfully there were just enough pipes.

Great Graphics can you please make your graphic pack?

I'm sorry, what graphics pack are you referring to? Or are you simply referring to a graphics pack I could eventually make after creating enough well made graphics?

Looks smooth, Why No Orange pipes

Orange Pipes were on my to-do list, however I couldn't do them for two reasons, one of these being infinitely more important than the other.

1 - In SMW, there are no red pipes. This shouldn't matter since we are talking here about the orange pipes. However in SMB3 red pipes are more important and central to the game, and since this pack is more centred towards SMB3 I felt they were more important and overrided the orange pipes with the red pipes. This shouldn't have been a problem since I could override another pipe colour however I waited for the amount of positivity on the pack to see if I should update it beyond this, this ties in with my second reason...

2 - I was wanting to upload this as quick as I could, as I had built hype for it on the SMBX discord channel and didn't want to disappoint anyone.

I will most likely be adding either orange or yellow pipes in a future update v
