Better Bend

Developer: Lije.Morgan

Download Free

Blender add-on offering Cinema 4D-style bend, twist, taper and stretch deformers with a lattice guide.

What Better Bend does

Better Bend offers deformers modeled on Cinema 4D's, so meshes can be bent, twisted, tapered and stretched. Deformations are applied directly to the mesh, while a lattice acts as a visual guide and origin.

It appears in the right-click menu in Object Mode and automatically creates a lattice guide with a matching Simple Deform on your mesh. Axis, angle or factor, and lattice resolution can be adjusted, and the deformations can be baked cleanly for export. Cinema 4D users moving to Blender will find the workflow familiar.
