Get Bent in Maya

Essynim · Dec 2014

Hi folks, just finished up a tool that streamlines some hard surfaces modeling procedures that we often find ourselves doin in maya. Posted up on my blog for download in case anyone wants to try it out. Hope it helps

This looks great! Just downloaded it and tried to use it, then cried a little when I saw:
REQUIRES: Maya 2013 and earlier

Any chance of getting 2014 support?

Essynim · Dec 2014

Yep, its now available

Looks cool, i'm just wondering what does this do that the bend modifier doesn't?

Essynim · Dec 2014

It doesn't act as a new kind of deformer. It uses the Bend deformer and simply streamlines a process that we do quite often in hard surface modeling. Its meant to save time in a production workflow by speeding up iteration and UX

Pretty cool. I´ve always used a combination of a lattice deformer + bend deformer (the latter deforming the former deformer) for doing this! But this gets rid of some steps.
