What is the Bend Modifier?
The Bend Modifier is a Blender modifier designed to provide an intuitive alternative to Blender’s built-in option.
Blender’s built-in Simple Deform offers a bend mode, but it’s awkward as it requires ‘Empty’ objects for placement and takes some time to set up. This add-on gives you a dedicated Bend Modifier asset that’s:
Easier to use,
Gizmo-driven,
Non-destructive,
Fully compatible with other modifiers, and
Kind to your UVs.
How It Works
Follow the How to Use guide. Essentially:
Save the Bend Modifier .blend file to Your Asset Library - Set the .blend file asset directory to use it in any Blender project under Edit -> Preferences -> File Paths.
Add the Modifier: Select an object and go to Deform - Bend from the modifier panel.
Fine-Tune the modifier’s :parameters.
