Some serious info on tire modeling - in fact, I think this is the thread Cartesius is referring in his tutorial.

@sebek27: You have to duplicate the segment along the Z-axis and then group them before adding the Bend deformer.

@Peoples: Yes, that's right, that's the thread that provided me with the necessary info:)

cartesius: I created 50 duplicates and then grouped them into one; now i add bend deformer and i tried bending in 3 different ways and this is what I get:

Sebek - try looking at the tutorial on my site - you're not far off, but you might have the hierarchy a bit wrong. I pinched Peoples' idea :) so it should be right.

Just scale the deformer on the Z-axis so it covers all of the segments and you should be OK. See the image on my site (in the tutorial) just below the image showing the Duplicate dialog.

Glad to see you got it worked out. If it is not already in a hypernurb try adding one to help get a little more rounded look.
