Hi,

I’m new to Blender, and was wondering if there is any help to get.
I want to make a piece of pipe, make it transparent and move a object thru the pipe.

Anyone done this, seen any examples or can help me out?

Start here: https://www.blender.org/manual/animation/object_path.html
Duplicate your Path curve in object mode (Ctrl-c/v) and make it a tube: set Fill ->Full, Bevel Depth as needed and Resolution to 2 on Curve Data panel. Convert curve to Mesh (Alt-C) and add Subdivision Surface, Solidify modifiers.
Decide on renderer and look up transparent material settings.
