  Bending withouth getting edges and corners

  Posted by Stefano Sonntag on July 24, 2008 at 9:42 am

  Hey there.
  I am trying to bend a fork so that it looks a bit more realistic. But when I apply the bend-attribute I get some edges on my fork. (take a look at this one: https://img165.imageshack.us/img165/4189/forkca0.jpg)

  How can I bend my fork and having a nicely round shape?

  Hard to tell from the pic but it looks like you need more geometry on the cap. Try using quads with a regular grid instead of n-gons.

  Depending on the detail level I prefer to box model cutlery since it has such fine curves… I have seen people use loft nurbs an a bunch of N-side shapes so you can control the poly count better…
