  Can anyone tell me why this bend deformer is not working?

  Please watch this short video:

  Two things that I don’t know why they are happening.

  When I click on the parent object it becomes flat again despite having two bend deformers already.

  When I add a third bend deformer so I can distort the edge at the top nothing happens.

  Can anyone tell me why?

  Thanks in advance.

  the order the Bends come in is important, C4D processes the deformers (like everything else) from the top to the bottom in the stack so you have to keep track of that. To get the bends you want you need to be in Limited or Unlimited mode so each subsequent bend will affect the ones above so the rotations and order have to be tweaked until you get what you want.

  That makes a lot of sense, and yeah, that was it. Thanks a lot Brian!
