Bending a shape using a NURBS plane + Wrap. (Maya)

3DFM

Hello.

I'm currently trying to bend this piece of geometry using a NURBS plane and a wrap deformer in Maya. As you can see there is plenty of geometry to work with, however it doesnt get the smooth round look that im looking for (green), instead it gets a sharp bend at different parts in the model (red).

Any idea how I should go about fixing this?

I'm guessing that plane it's bending along is a split up 4x4 plane so it can bend. The bend will bend largely at those points, now I've never done what you're doing, but I would try adding extra edge loops that line up with the plane's horizontal edge loops. Know what I mean?

Or you might be able to have a few more splits in the plane, that way it would apply the bend over more geometry.

You need more control points in your NURBS shape. Personally, I'd use a simple wire deformer instead for something like this. Or a lattice + bend deformer combo.
