Im trying to deform bend an object but when i do the command i get 3 small ball manipulators.When i move them the object wont bend. Is there something im missing or doing wrong?

What kind of obj?
What exactly is the command you are using, and is it for modeling or animation purposes?

The job is from the learning maya: games and interactive book.I have to bend the bottom part of the tower with the deform,bend command.It's a modeling job.

do you have enough interesections in your model ?

if you don't have , maya has nothing (no cv) that it can move in world, so there is no bending then.

Instead of moving the three balls, change the bend values in the channel box.
