First make a tube sop. Change the primitive type to nurbs.

Then right click on the down arrow of the tube sop and append a twist sop. Change the operation type to blend. Move the strength slider.

Alter the axis values.

Try looking at the tutorial videos if you're having problems with the interface.

I need to “Bend” not “Blend”

LIke taking the end of a bar in each hand and bending it.

Hi Zenfu,

Please make sure you select Polygons, Mesh or Nurbs as the Primitive Type for the tube instead of Primitive.

Cheers!

I'm sorry Steven I worked on that a while and no luck
I am a definate noob with limited experience but I have gone thru all the tutorials and I just can't bend a tube how silly is that, such a basic operation. :cry:

This is my first time here and I hope I'm posting this in the right section if not well then move it.

For the life of me I can't figure how to Manipulate, Twist ->Bend my tube geometry.
I'm trying to model a bike frame (Harley). The tutorials just aren't helping me with this type of operation.
I would be more than gratefull if someone could point me towards a good tutorial or give me the right pointers. ops:
