Thank you so much for such a clear explanation. Really helped me understand the Simple Deform modifier and saved a lot of time for me and was able to apply this concept for "Bend the World..." animation that I created using Blender 3.0

Thanks so much for the education!! Your explanation and diagrams/animation makes it a lot easier to understand!!

Thank you for the scientific explanation about the axes. This may be the best short blender tutorial I have seen.

This tutorial is what i've been searching for a long time, thank you very much!

Very useful tut. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

very cool. I didn't know it had been updated. also congratulation on achieving a very, very clear explanation.

Short, clear, on point, very helpful. Just what I was looking for.

Subscribed right away. I watched like 10 videos about simple deform and I coudn't bend at all. After watching your video I understand how it works and I can finaly bend. Thank you

i really really like his voice:) btw it was really helpful:) i hope your channel will exist many more years and that your vids will be just as awesome as this one ☺

Blender is amazing tool, but some features like this should be simplified so that users don't have to struggle learning how to use a "simple deform".

the thing is there are several ways to achieve that same task. From using bezier curves or grease pencil obect, then convert to mesh, or using the modifiers, at the end its all about practice as with most software. the more you practice, the more you figure out ways to increase your workflow. Comparing to maybe 3 years ago ,blender has come a long way in being user friendly..and its FREE lol

I agree heartly with this. I've been trying to bend a plane to become a cylinder, but it's just not working properly.

@@bezoro2008 I've been using Blender for 7 almost 8 years now and you're entirely wrong. A tool should make the artist's job easier, not the other way around. If you look at Maya's deform tools you would see immediately how they are significantly more robust. Blender should've adapted to them long ago. Your comparison between math which is factual science to using a tool is fundamentally wrong (not to mention that if we're being technical, math *does* have simplifications; it's called expressions and formulas). Being in this community for long enough it is so unbelievably annoying to see people attempt to absolve Blender of any shortcomings. It's a tool like any other, my personal choice in software for many reasons, but it has faults and they will never be fixed if we justify their existence.

it could be very cool if modifiers can be visible (like latice ) objects, with fields options to deform object vertices when they encounter the modifiers fields in a more predictable way, even maybe multiple objects.

very detailed tutorial thanks for making it!

Thank you. Very informative and well explained

Excellent explanation, thank you!

Thank you for doing this. "Bend" was driving me nuts - the chart on working / rotational axis is so helpful.

Salam o Alaikum, Very nice explaination, now I understand better. I am absolute beginner, but was consfused in other tutorials, but now gave me understanding. I hope you will make more videos, with slow expalainations, so that absolute beginners can understand.

thank you very much for your great informative videos! :)

I was trying to bend objects in right way for a days. THANKS!!!

very good explanation, thank you man!!!

Great tutorial, thanks for helping demystify this modifier :-) There seems to be a bug with the modifier, at least in v2.82 : If you start off with the plane in its original orientation - Then in edit mode select all and rotate Y by 90 degrees - Then rotate again minus 90 degrees (i.e. back to where it was), the modifier screws the geometry up and it resembles a mangled folding curtain.

So of course I found this AFTER figuring it mostly out for myself. I swear you're the only person making tutorials who actually understands how this works. Everybody else just claims you need to use "trial and error", or stick to keeping everything along the X-axis. But no, it's perfectly clear and no guesswork is involved, you just need to learn which axis is the working axis for which rotational one. I mean, I understand that Blender can't bend an XY plane around the X or Y axis because it's ambiguous which way we would want the result to bend, and Blender can't read our mind. But this is still bad design because it's unintuitive and has no good visual indicators nor feedback when it doesn't work, which probably explains why most people never use this "simple" modifier. But it's not random either, of course, and once one realizes why Blender does what it does, it becomes easier. I used an arrow empty (which shows the local axis) while experimenting, which helped a lot.

Those rolling “R”s in your accent is music to my eyes my friend. Beautiful voice. I could listen to you bend polygons all day!

Thanks for taking the time to produce this video but, although I love Blender, having used Lightwave, Modo and Maya's Bend tools Blender Devs really needs to work on getting a straight forward working tool for modelling and animating any bend deformations.

Agreed. I was trying to reproduce a simple Cinema4D bending effect (shown here: blenderartists.org/t/c4d-like-bend-deformer/1146668 ) in Blender and I could only be partially successful by using curve deform. It felt like coding with 1s and 0s (and it was destructive and less flexible too). After viewing this helpful video I only decided that Blender's bending tool is really far from being practical.

@mathieumilgram6798

Agreed. I've spent the whole day trying to find a way to bend a flat shape, with two different folds, in two different directions, while keeping the dimensions intact, in Blender... With no satisfying result. I am getting the Cinema 4d trial just for this task.

Oh wow fantastic! Thanks for this!!

thank you, i have learnt some useful lessons here.

thanks, The video is very helpful in understanding the basics without which everything seems complicated

Thanks for teaching us about the working axis. Now I understand why my deformations were working the way they were.

very well explained thanks a lot man

That chart helped alot, absolute legend!

wow your video give dome much knowledge , many thanks

that was REALLY helpful! cheers!

Thanks for the in-depth explanation.. I always think the bend works like in 3dsMax then get confused/angry when it just doesnt work

Best video I've seen on this wonky deformer yet! Thanks!

Amazing tutorial. Thanks :)

A+++ Great tut. Your udemy courses are fantastic.

Thank you, It's cool

Kushiro's Simple Bend addon, makes all this so easy.

thank you for explaining so well..love you tutorials. Can you please make a tutorial on deformation of objects while arraying them on the curves? recently i am trying to array an object around a curve but i find the objects deforms even with the a slightest turn on the curve unfortunately i couldnt find any youtube tutorial explaining this precisely

Thank you so much!

This is the only good explanation you can find on the internet!

This is great, thanks a lot. However, when I go to add the empty object, with Arrows I don't get the gizmo show like you do. Any ideas why?

How did you read my mind? I was just wondering how I was going to execute the street lamps in my project.

Thanks u so much

good teching thank you

Real teacher!

holy, thats a lot of work

sir, can you tell me, how to show icon add cylindris in blender in 4:56 min, i search and i dont know how to show the menu

thank you

Thanx a lot~

Thank you so much, shukriya 💙

Thank you

Thanks for that, very helpful. If you add this after a particle system it wont bend the particle origin, you need to add particle system after this modifier.

Thank you so much! I was completely stumped until I found your video

My best Teacher I have learn to you adobe illustrator 😘

What do you do if, let's say, you want to bend a pre-made lamp post? So you only want to bend the center pole part of the object, and not the end pieces?

Awesome video thanks. I have to agree with the last couple of comments though. It seems devs are thinking about devs and not joe bloggs in the street that wants to use this awesome software for everyday use. I make and sell furniture and using materials that are bent is one of my main USP's, so having a software that is easy to use without a degree in programming is paramount to me.

Unfortunately, "easy to use" software seldom has features like this, because the process is inherently complex. If you need it bad enough, you take the time to learn enough to get it working. Look for oither tutorials on bending, because there are several ways to bent your materials and some may be easier for you.

Great Vid. But man what a convoluted way to bend an object!

Excellent explanation. Thank you so much for the video. I would like to say that these options are also available in the experimental versions of Blender 2.79, as I know that there are people who can not use the 2.80 for lack of hardware, as is my case. Sorry for the mistakes.

Blenderrrrr!!! I love it ...
