View Full Version : A Stupid Question I'm Sure

I'm a former Max user and i was wonder if there is a modifier similiar to Bend where you can select a section of a model and apply it to bend the model in a angle or direction like the modifier stack bend in Max?


Also:

Is there any way to create a primitive like a circle and extrude it along a path so that it gets capped and makes a solid object? I want to make wires and pipes and do them at bent and odd angles, it seems easiest to extrude a circle along a path to get the look i want but the ends are opened when it's done...


thanks for any help.

You can try deform>non linear> bend.
Or use nurbs, spline and surface>extrude.
