Bend Deformer in Maya 2012
polycounter lvl 14
Hello guys!
I'm trying to do something like that in Maya using the non linear bend deformer:
(from Thiago Klafke's tutorial)
I don't know why, but it's not working on planes and since I'm not familiar with deformers in Maya I don't know another way to do something similar to that.
I've seen other threads like this, but they did not help much.
Can you guys help me?:poly122:
Thank you!

maybe you have to move and rotate your bend deformer handle to get the start at the right position and set curvature to pi(3.14..)/4 which gives you a 90 degrees bend. then you might need to scale your plane to match your tiling. if you're done delete history will get rid of the deformer and bakes your mesh.
I was rotating the deformer in the wrong position...
