Bending a model

[Napapiiri]

Hei guys I have the following problem: I have modelled a strap for a watch and need to bend it now for some rendering.


Doesn't need to be super accurate but so far it became quite distorted and messy.


Is there any possibility to do this?


Thanks for your ideas in advance


Greets!

wrap??

Another option is the"spinal bend" (insert, advanced, spinal bend)

Try the WARP feature.

Maybe I was not precise enough - I want to make a circle
out of it - like somebody would wear it on his wrist.
Or to put it on a model-stand.

I tried warp but when bending into a circular shape it
started to distort so much.

Or are there any options for the warp feature to prevent
this?

Spinal bend still works...

Hei! Good stuff! Thanks! But...

Does it work with a single-piece object? Like a
plastic/leather strap?
Not talking about a chain of single elements.

Even easier, no need to tweak the pattern to make a nice bend then...

Thanks a lot! Well I will try that. way - strange that the
holes in my shape always got totally distorted...

when I render things like that... with a strap that needs to look draped for a rendering. I re sweep it.
