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.
