What are bend deformers?

Editing bend deformation effects
Creating bend deformers
When creating bend deformers, you can first
set creation options and then create a deformer, or you can immediately
create a deformer with the current creation options. If you’re not
sure what the current creation options are, checking them before
you create a deformer can save you some time adjusting the deformer’s
attributes afterwards.
See
Set bend nonlinear deformers.
WarningYou should avoid changing the number of
a deformable object’s points (for example, CVs, vertices, or lattice
points) after you create a deformer. Changing the number of points
can lead to unexpected deformation effects. Try to be sure you are
happy with the deformable object’s topology before you begin using
deformers. Save a copy of the object in case you want to do further modeling
later.
