This method works very well but like you I don't know why. There is a paid for version called the 'simple bend' add on which does the job without the hassle but really the developers should take a look at this and sort it out once and for all.

This is so good.

Works, and great explanation.

Thank you very much! So it is not me, it's Blender.

Literally exactly what I was looking for Thank you so much

Thank you for this tutorial. Now i can finally replace my greese pencil method, since this will be more flexible and of course faster.

using the same node group across multiple meshes and the thickness of the line is in relation to the sizes of the mesh, is there any way of making the thickness uniform across meshes?

Very helpful, thanks so much!

Hey I hope this comment section is still active. If I have a child to the object that I want to deform, how do I make sure the child follows the parents' deform? Example, a curved piece of jewellery (parent) with diamonds on it (child)

Hey, nice video, is there a way to make it so the outline offset follows the sunlight's rotation instead?

you cant listent to this without All I Want For Christmas Is You playing in the background

Wow! This is an amazing workflow! Thank you!

the main thing i was losing my mind over was moving it around, still pretty new and didn't think of parenting the empty to the object 🤦‍♂ Thanks!

Thankyou thankyou thankyou this has been driving me crazy. Rotating 90 degrees fixed it!

My cube does not do that at all, I import it, follow your instructions and I get a tapered cube, and then bending it, I get a triangle type bend, that's it. I deleted and imported a cube numerous times, I don't even MOVE the cube once it's placed. I then go straight to cutting it, which after I add the simple deform and use the "z" axis, I tried the other axis's as well. It only transitions to a triangle. Extremely frustrated. I don't know if it's a specific import style of the cube I have a setting on? Why would the cube go tapered to one end or at other times create a bevel when I add the simple deform? Maybe the angle of the cube? which I simply don't mess with the angle, I go straight to your instructions, no luck.

hi i still got some shader issue on the transparent side, how do i fix it ?

Hmmm... this simply does not work for me in Blender 4.2. The loop cuts aren't "applied" to the mesh after I make them. The mesh deforms as if there were no cuts. When I go into Edit mode, the cuts are present. I'm clearly missing a step. I love Blender, but it can be SO damn frustrating.

thanks for explaining!

What if i need to bend paper one corner? like a calendar paper!

I like this, but I am curious if it is possible to use a similar setup to invert lineart color based on how dark the background is, without it being driven by light?

My god, I cannot thank you enough. I have struggled with this for days. I despise blender so much and you made my life easier.

in the usa we dont say zed

How did I not know about this?!? Brilliant!! Thank you so much.

Went to several other vidoes first. This is a no nonsense way to bend my objects. Thanks!

Your video helped me so much, it was driving me nuts, but good to know it's not just me finding it frustrating! Managed to finally get my screw to curve in blender in the right way, thanks!

Why did they not copy what 3D max does :(

🚀 Such a great series. It's been very handy and inspiring. A great blend of show vs tell, theory vs experimentation. I'm using it as a jump-off point for my own composition.

Really great tutorial. Good, clear explanations and preview of things to come.

I'm only a month into my blender life and bending stuff has been a real issue. I see there is a paid tool you can add on that appears to be a good options (but to be fair I have no clue) but I want to learn and develop skills before I start paying for stuff that I may never use. This tricks seems a little inconvenient to be fair, but it works and my morning is better for it, so thanks heaps.

Awesome little trick... I'm new to blender and this has been by far the frustrating tool I've used, I don't know why this work, I don't pretend to understand it, but thankyou for showing it.

You saved me! I would have never figured this out. Thank you very much!

how many times i thank you for this great tutorial... bless you God

Still relevent thank you so much! I have 3d relief sculpts for printing and I wanted to turn them into cylinders and this method of adding the empty sphere and bending around it works perfectly without any distortion and it was so easy!

In Simple Deform one axis is effectively bent around another axis. The axis you select in the modifier is the axis to be bent around, not the axis being bent. If you select X or Y to bend around, the axis being bent is implicitly set as Z. But, when you select Z and the axis to bend around it makes no sense to bend Z around Z. So the implicit axis being bent is changed to X. The manual is effectively saying Z bends around X, Z bends around Y, but it's X that bends around Z (because Z bending around Z makes no sense.)

I’ve been using a gn group instead of screaming

I use this same technique and it works really well for ANY kind of crease. There are a couple of ways to get rid of the back side when needed. I do it by hand but there are easy ways . :O)

man it still does not work for me. it distort it to a hourglass shape

Awesome tutorial! Is there a way to put this geometry node on a semi-transparent object? Maybe with a mask?

thank you so much, i wish every blender demo video was this simple to understand

That's really awesome! Thanks, Aaron!

Thaks for this man!

Reading the documentation, one senses that trying to make bending conform to the same logic as the other deform operations was not a good choice by the developers and it may have been better to just make bend its own modifier. I wonder if bending could be achieved more intuitively building a modifier in geo nodes...

Finnaly! Thank you for creating this video and sharing you knowledge. Now i can make my desktop background video of a wireframe dragon flying through a wireframe valley.

I'm definitely goint to be using this, its brilliant!

This is fantastic! Is it possible to make the object appear solid as the slice is made? The void between the external and internal skin of the train is train appears hollow, is there a way to fill this?

What i think about this: If it doesnt work in cycles, then it's a crutch, not a solution

Do you make shape first then make edges hard or make surface first then bend it in car shape ???

great video - thanks!...i was equally impressed by your straight line free draw ability! 😄

THANK YOu
