Help with 3DS Max modular curved path

Flaminbeef

Hi everyone, 

I'm currently going through a tutorial on creating a modular environment and I am really struggling to create this part of the model. I want this piece to be modular and snap to the grid I have set up in Max and to line up with the pathway pieces I have already made. The tutorial I am following is in Maya and uses different functionality, I've tried using the bend modifier but I can't seem to get the same results. This may be very simple but I'm really struggling with it so any help would be great!

Thank you!

There's the advanced bend modifier script to make the setup easy.

Thank you, that was very helpful and sorted the problem!

Is it weird that you put 3dsmax in your title but the screenshot is in Maya? Yes, yes it is =P

That script is great! I've always eyeballed it, like this https://mark3d.carbonmade.com/projects/5565404

Splines with sweep modifiers are the best way  do this.  You get free UVs and you can increase tessellation dynamically
