Hi, I have a workaround but currently looking for some advice for better out of box solution.

Bend Modifier and Deformers are working fine along Y and Z but whenever I try to

Bend on X-Axis I am getting 8 Shape. I remember it worked fine in the past.

There are multiple ways to Bend but I am wondering what am I doing wrong here with Bend Deformer?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Never Mind following solution worked for me. I will also try this in Vertex Room. Normally I try Modifiers in Assembly room and then in Vertex Room.

    Hi friend! Glad you found out the solution, I always have issues trying to bend on any axis but Y that seems to be only the one that works for me... how did you do that?

    Here are settings under Bend and Twist Modifier:

    Twise Angle      = 00
    Bend Angle        = 90
    Bend Axis Angle = 270
    Limits   = 28-100

    Axis = Y
    In   = X,Y,Z (all checked)
    Flip = Along Major Axis checked

     

    I think it is fine  to try out in Assembly Room first before trying them in the Vertex Modeler Room. I will also add a video in near future.
