Blender 3.3 Simple Bend v2.1.8 Crack Download
Simple Bend is a handy tool for bending sub-divided mesh.
You add the edge-loops or sub-divide your mesh
Select the faces for bending (it can be all faces of just the middle parts)
Run the tool, Drag on the yellow axis to bend.
You can bend the selected mesh easily by dragging on the on-screen axis.
Also you can bend the select part only, and let the connected geometries to follow. (Press C key to choose the part)
Edge Axis mode
This is the advanced mode for Simple Bend. It is very useful for bending at any self-defined angle.
It works as follow :
The tool read your “last-selected edges” for its bending axis and direction. It needs two edges, and they mush not be co-linear (same direction).
In order to use this mode, you have to switch to Blender’s Edge mode, select the part, hold the Shift key, then un-select the “2 edges”, then re-select the “2 edges” (this procedure will make those edges to become the last selection in blender), then run the tool.
You may watch the follow gif for simple understanding :
Please note that, from the above gif, when you select the last two edge, the selection order is important :
First edge : Mesh direction.
Second edge : Bending direction.
They have the following meaning :
(When you run the tool, you can also press the W key to swap the axis. )
