Deforming a plane (or solid rectangle) that warps into a cylinder
Hi, everyone.
I’m having a difficult time deformaing a plane which warps into a cylinder; maybe I’m going about it the wrong way :-/
What I need to accomplish is this, using C4D XL Version 7.3:
The animation begins with a “piece of paper” that fills the 4×3 video workspace. The “paper” then wraps into a cylinder (which will actually be a flag pole, necessitating a change in materials naturally) and settles in screen left, allowing space for a flag on the right side.
It would preferrable to deform a thin solid rectangle so that you could see more dimension to the inside of the pole as it’s wrapping closed, but I’ll settle for a plane.
The wrap deformer works fine warping the plane into the final shape of the cylinder, but I can’t seem to make it *animate* from flat to a totally revolved cylinder.
Is there another way to go about this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

It should work. What steps have you taken to animate the deformation?

Hi, Adam.
Actually, I think I have it figured out. I attempted to use the wrap deformer before; I switched to a bend deformer and I was able to do what I thought I could.
Thanks for checking in, and sorry I didn’t provide many clues. I appreciate your help.
