3DS Max bend issues

Benjam

Hey poly count i have run into a slight problem while using Max, i need to apply a bend modifier so that my object makes a nice U (ish) shaped curve. When i apply the bend modifier it pushes the faces of each side of the object in different directions crossing them over and giving an annoying as hell affect.





Anyone ever had this problem before or know what is going wrong??

Cheers guys

try resetting xforms first, also try adjusting your pivot point

1) Make sure you exit sub-object mode before apply bend, otherwise it will only apply blend to whatever you have selected.

2) Have you changed the "Bend Axis"?

Have you tried x and z axis as well? Whenever i use bend modifier i need to switch between the three of them to find the best one and even rotate it a little to get what i want.

Thanks for the tips guys, i was so frustrated at the issue i forgot i could play around with direction etc. Special thanks to Jacky for reminding me of such things XD
