    This method works very well but like you I don't know why. There is a paid for version called the 'simple bend' add on which does the job without the hassle but really the developers should take a look at this and sort it out once and for all.

    Hey I hope this comment section is still active. If I have a child to the object that I want to deform, how do I make sure the child follows the parents' deform? Example, a curved piece of jewellery (parent) with diamonds on it (child)

    • @aaronvdw
      @aaronvdw 23 дні тому

      Alive and well! Parenting doesn't work that way. Children only inherit their parent object's transformations (scale, position, rotation) - not their modifiers. So the deform modifier will only affect the geometry of its owner, not its children. Join the geometry of that child to its parent if you want its vertices also affected. Hope that helps.

      @@ItsMyRule Yeah when you join an object to the one that has the deform modifier on it, it'll continue to apply to that whole mesh which now includes the new geometry you added, so things are going to instantly look different and probably messed up. Materials you had assigned to the parent object you're joining into would probably look different yeah, depending on how you set up the material (if it was uv mapped, had generated coordinate mapping, etc).

    My cube does not do that at all, I import it, follow your instructions and I get a tapered cube, and then bending it, I get a triangle type bend, that's it. I deleted and imported a cube numerous times, I don't even MOVE the cube once it's placed. I then go straight to cutting it, which after I add the simple deform and use the "z" axis, I tried the other axis's as well. It only transitions to a triangle. Extremely frustrated. I don't know if it's a specific import style of the cube I have a setting on? Why would the cube go tapered to one end or at other times create a bevel when I add the simple deform? Maybe the angle of the cube? which I simply don't mess with the angle, I go straight to your instructions, no luck.

    Hmmm... this simply does not work for me in Blender 4.2. The loop cuts aren't "applied" to the mesh after I make them. The mesh deforms as if there were no cuts. When I go into Edit mode, the cuts are present. I'm clearly missing a step. I love Blender, but it can be SO damn frustrating.

  • @petebateman143
    @petebateman143 5 місяців тому

    In Simple Deform one axis is effectively bent around another axis. The axis you select in the modifier is the axis to be bent around, not the axis being bent. If you select X or Y to bend around, the axis being bent is implicitly set as Z. But, when you select Z and the axis to bend around it makes no sense to bend Z around Z. So the implicit axis being bent is changed to X. The manual is effectively saying Z bends around X, Z bends around Y, but it's X that bends around Z (because Z bending around Z makes no sense.)

    Reading the documentation, one senses that trying to make bending conform to the same logic as the other deform operations was not a good choice by the developers and it may have been better to just make bend its own modifier. I wonder if bending could be achieved more intuitively building a modifier in geo nodes...
