I would tend to agree with Jonathan. From an artists perspective it is always terribly confusing when you have an option to bend around a axis and it doesn't actually bend around the axis you set. For example, X should bend around X and Y around Y etc.
Doing this would help the using if such a tool immensely. :) -Andy On 13 Jul 2013, at 19:58, Jonathan Williamson <[email protected]> wrote: > I guess I don't really follow what you mean? > > Here is what I would expect X to do: http://cl.ly/QE02 > > So that it's bending around the X axis, as if the mesh were paper wrapping > around a cylinder.
