Straight to the business, no dumb loud intros, no beating around the bush, THANK YOU MAN

This is how all tutorials should be, clear and concise, straight to the point. We don't want long intros, we don't want Like and Subscribe pop ups, we don't want music over the talking etc., etc. Thank you sir.

You are the best explainer. There are some silly people explaining blender skills with screen blur or mouse moving at speed of light or language bluffing. I paused your video even half way to comment the quality of your skills. Thank you so much. Its 4 years ago. If you get time please make on other important modifier. Many thanks once again!

I recently landed my first 3D Job ina small firm, they wanted a Logo around a Cylinder and I only knew a bit of blender. I can say this video helped me a big step to land that Job, thank you very much!

prolly worth mentioning that if the object to be bent has been transformed in any way, and you have not applied those transformations, this attempt to bend the object will have you entering a world of hurt; apply the transformations (CTRL-A) and THEN do the bending

You are the first person to explain the Bend tool in versions 2.8 + so well !!! That's great!! 👍👍👍👍

I'm 3dsmax user and recently try to use Blender as my primary 3d sofware. But I think 3dsmax's bend modifier is superior and very easy to use compared to Blender. You don't need to make another object to help other object bends. You can just use the object own pivot and can change it position on the fly to get different bend shapes. I hope Blender developer will improve this feature.

You are a god tier hero, I was watching another tutorial who done this in an outrageously stupid way costing me an hour. I love you.

The only way I can get this to work is if I rotate the empty 90 on the Z axis and ALSO set the deform angle. Sometimes blender just is kinda weird

THANK YOU! concise, straight to the point, super detailed. I dont think I have ever had a youtube video answer ALL my sort of complex question in such a short time. I have to check out your other videos.

When I try this, I get a distorted mess. Looks like pulled taffy. The whole object won't bend, it just drags parts of it.

Thank you so much. I just upgraded from Making Waves, so the concepts are familiar, but tNice tutorials is a whole new world! Look forward to

Your tut was my first stop and I need not continue looking, problem solved. Thanks!!

Great tutorial, straight to the point, factual and informative. Thank you for taking the time to make this video

This was so helpful and your voice is very nice! It was a joy to listen to you and follow along :)

This guy is the best , easy to understand 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

THANK YOU im using blender 2.9 and it still works!

Perfect! This is exactly what I was after! Thank you!

Hey Clean tutorial. I am currently migrating from Maya so Blender is kind of a major transition for me. "Simple Deform" is not really "Simple" ( Weird implementation) for someone who is gotten used to Maya's deformer tools. But finally figured out thanks to your tutorial. I would like to point out one subtle step that would make bending predictable (i.e.) The object to be deformed has to be 90 degrees to the axis about which it needs to Deform. So rotate the object and Apply Transform and then the deformer should be applied. Thanks !!

This is exactly what I needed to make some bended roofs :) Thank you very much!

Thanks for this, I'm used to 3DSMax and this seems a tad fiddly just to bend something, but it works!

One of those things that make blender look stupid sometimes. I switched from 3ds max and its cool for the most part, but in max you just choose bend and bend however you want. This seems more complicated.

Не смотря на то что я не всё понял что он сказал, но он отлично всё показал, спасибо !

Thank you for this! Nice and simple. I thought it would be way more difficult.

thank you so so much i was having a hard time with that

How do you make the vertices move with the object? It won't work, the vertices stay in a line.

Thank you very much! I was working on this render and forgot how to make curved roofs, thanks a lot man!

Clear cut and easy to understand thank you!

Unfortunately none of this works in blender 2.9 anymore :(

You're a damn legend mate, this video just saved my day

thanks to the widgets I now know how it works. although they should just have made it like the maya linear bend with a curve line... and reserve this for... idk... "advanced bend"

They irony is it being called 'simple' deformer. In Cinema, you add a bend deformer to an object, you get a visual cage, you bend the cage, it bends your object. And they say Blender has more advanced modelling tools!

Nice video - I created a video on my channel to try and explain how this works to.

That's perfect for what i am going to build, like some sort of holders, this looks neat, Thanks!!!

Hey so when I click the "z" axis right, it turns my cube into a triangle? Is there a reason that's happening?

very good thank joe

Just what I was looking for!

Wow thank you, it helped me a lot.

For me, everything works right... but ONLY when I do it with an absolute new general file. But I need it in a file I already have some objects I made. But here, the forms I get after I add "simple deform" modifier are more than strange and totaly different to what I got with the empty file. That is a bit disappointing.....

Having to add a separate object to act as a pivot point is just one of the many reasons I'm moving to Maya first chance I get. Working with Blender is like wading through molasses.

Followed exactly as you did, got a twisted mess that doesn't rotate around anything but itself, even though I selected the empty object.

You just got a sub man!

Very good explanation!

this was awesome. So simplified, thanks

I had to use an Remesh-Modifier before the Simple Deform, to be able to bent the pipe (and additinally rotate the Empty). Also noticed that on Half-Pipes the Bolean Operators in Blender do not work, had to use an add on "Fast Carve" which worked. On this topic Blender should just buy some addons and include them.

1000 Likes :) Thanks for this !

Short and sweet!

Love this man...Love this

Thanks. Love u man!

Thank you! You explain very well

COOKING UP LIVE in soft soft!

I have been battling with Curve modifiers to get what I want.. This seems easier

So informative, thanks a lot!

Perfect, thanks!

Thank you, this helped a lot

Are you using Producer edition?? What do y'all recomnd if I want to make s but not record my voice or tutorial?

jesus blender seems to make everything more complicated than it should be

3:14 mine isnt bending like yours? I followed your tutorial but its bending in on itself?

That was very usefull! Thank you!

when i try this my object turns into some kind of low poly infinity sign?

jesus, why i can't just bend stuff in one click?? thx for the vid

Thankyou! I couldn't figure out why my thingybob wasn't bending :)

Nice, thanks!!!

I had an issue, careful with stacking multiple 'modifier' on top of each others.

Super clear. Thank you

When I do this my mesh doesnt change what do i do? EDIT : You have to press Apply after setting the modifier

Thank you dude

Thank you man good video!

If I want to save my project in soft soft, do I have to buy it?

Is there a way to do this with a hexagon to make it look kind of like a six sided star? I thought you could probably do this to just the side faces then add the top and bottom later, but this method doesn't quite work for that.

Thank you!

Perfect!

That's amazing!

excellent tutorial

Awesome! Thank you very much for share this video. But how can I change the style show in "Blender Shift Select Multiple" that is show in this video?

Great tutorial thanks

Thank you sir

Super helpful!

Thank you

Are you Clint Eastwood? Same talking voice. (Thanks for the lesson, by the way)

thank you

I don't have the axis selecting part It's just origin selecting tab

thank you, very helpful

PERFECT!!! :))

bro you saved me thank you

the cube doesn’t curve, it distorts into an x shape/ hourglass shape ???

And then I always have to move it around together with that empty thingy?

Bend not working for me, no matter what I chose its alyways "tapper" model xD wtf

Thanks

hell yeah man thank you

Quick question: Is there any way to delete the empty after bending the rod and making the bent rod its own stand-alone mesh?

I was more looking for how to curve just a certain portion of the object, i am testing out making a road and want the end part to bend 90 degrees

Excellent

very helpful !! thx

If i want it to follow a model within blender. Is there a way to freehand bend it? Im pretty new to blender. Hope you still respond older movies

this worked until i tried to move the item , how do i move it without bending , i done the alt G thing too

Thank you so much

You say you right click on the cube object? When I right click my cylinder it just brings up a menu.

"COMPLICATED DEFORM" i remember an earlier version of Blender had an easier way of bending a mesh without a modifier.

I don't know why blender is doing this to me, I made a tower an hour ago and simple deform worked fine so I go to make another one a couple minutes ago and it doesn't work anymore, I'm doing the exact same thing as the last tower but instead of the object being bent like normal it freaks out and makes an x shape. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong because I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
