Straight to the business, no dumb loud intros, no beating around the bush, THANK YOU MAN

This is how all tutorials should be, clear and concise, straight to the point. We don't want long intros, we don't want Like and Subscribe pop ups, we don't want music over the talking etc., etc. Thank you sir.

You are the first person to explain the Bend tool in versions 2.8 + so well !!! That's great!! 👍👍👍👍

THANK YOU! concise, straight to the point, super detailed. I dont think I have ever had a youtube video answer ALL my sort of complex question in such a short time. I have to check out your other videos.

You are the best explainer. There are some silly people explaining blender skills with screen blur or mouse moving at speed of light or language bluffing. I paused your video even half way to comment the quality of your skills. Thank you so much. Its 4 years ago. If you get time please make on other important modifier. Many thanks once again!

You are a god tier hero, I was watching another tutorial who done this in an outrageously stupid way costing me an hour. I love you.

This is exactly what I needed to make some bended roofs :) Thank you very much!

I recently landed my first 3D Job ina small firm, they wanted a Logo around a Cylinder and I only knew a bit of blender. I can say this video helped me a big step to land that Job, thank you very much!

That's perfect for what i am going to build, like some sort of holders, this looks neat, Thanks!!!

You're a damn legend mate, this video just saved my day

this was awesome. So simplified, thanks

Just what I was looking for!

Wow thank you, it helped me a lot.

prolly worth mentioning that if the object to be bent has been transformed in any way, and you have not applied those transformations, this attempt to bend the object will have you entering a world of hurt; apply the transformations (CTRL-A) and THEN do the bending

The only way I can get this to work is if I rotate the empty 90 on the Z axis and ALSO set the deform angle. Sometimes blender just is kinda weird

I'm 3dsmax user and recently try to use Blender as my primary 3d sofware. But I think 3dsmax's bend modifier is superior and very easy to use compared to Blender. You don't need to make another object to help other object bends. You can just use the object own pivot and can change it position on the fly to get different bend shapes. I hope Blender developer will improve this feature.

Is there a way to do this with a hexagon to make it look kind of like a six sided star? I thought you could probably do this to just the side faces then add the top and bottom later, but this method doesn't quite work for that.

Perfect!

very helpful !! thx

thanks to the widgets I now know how it works. although they should just have made it like the maya linear bend with a curve line... and reserve this for... idk... "advanced bend"

Thankyou! I couldn't figure out why my thingybob wasn't bending :)

Hey Clean tutorial. I am currently migrating from Maya so Blender is kind of a major transition for me. "Simple Deform" is not really "Simple" ( Weird implementation) for someone who is gotten used to Maya's deformer tools. But finally figured out thanks to your tutorial. I would like to point out one subtle step that would make bending predictable (i.e.) The object to be deformed has to be 90 degrees to the axis about which it needs to Deform. So rotate the object and Apply Transform and then the deformer should be applied. Thanks !!

I have to agree with Arun SM on the subtle step. Spent an hour or so pulling my hair out knowing there was some simple missing step to make this work.

Hey so when I click the "z" axis right, it turns my cube into a triangle? Is there a reason that's happening?

Thanks

Can that be applied for a single line made of several vertices ?

thanks :)

tHANKS!

I had to use an Remesh-Modifier before the Simple Deform, to be able to bent the pipe (and additinally rotate the Empty). Also noticed that on Half-Pipes the Bolean Operators in Blender do not work, had to use an add on "Fast Carve" which worked. On this topic Blender should just buy some addons and include them.

COOKING UP LIVE in soft soft!

One of those things that make blender look stupid sometimes. I switched from 3ds max and its cool for the most part, but in max you just choose bend and bend however you want. This seems more complicated.

@@lowaimnobrain you're right - if you want to bend the object around its own centre then the empty is not needed; however with the empty, you can now bend about any point you want; I think the tut would have been clearer if he'd started without the empty, done the bending about the object's own centre, then done it with an empty and shown how moving the empty gives you more control

@gamemakergameprogrammingco4786

Yes. Just apply the modifier.

Followed exactly as you did, got a twisted mess that doesn't rotate around anything but itself, even though I selected the empty object.

And then I always have to move it around together with that empty thingy?

it a go!

I have been battling with Curve modifiers to get what I want.. This seems easier

If I want to save my project in soft soft, do I have to buy it?

For me, everything works right... but ONLY when I do it with an absolute new general file. But I need it in a file I already have some objects I made. But here, the forms I get after I add "simple deform" modifier are more than strange and totaly different to what I got with the empty file. That is a bit disappointing.....

Nice video - I created a video on my channel to try and explain how this works to.

They irony is it being called 'simple' deformer. In Cinema, you add a bend deformer to an object, you get a visual cage, you bend the cage, it bends your object. And they say Blender has more advanced modelling tools!

No free hand bend. But you could also make mesh follow a curve you create and bend that curve by moving its vertices.

Having to add a separate object to act as a pivot point is just one of the many reasons I'm moving to Maya first chance I get. Working with Blender is like wading through molasses.

I don't have the axis selecting part It's just origin selecting tab
