Bend deformer in Maya

[Kryaus]

Does the bend deformer always go along the X axis or can ya get move it? If you can move it please let me know?

Yes you certainly can move it.

Have your mesh selected and apply the Bend modifier. Now in the Channel Box, make sure that you have the Bend node selected. It will open up a drop down menu with your usual options. Switch to either the Move (w), Rotate (e) or Scale Tool (r), and play around with it at will.

By default, Maya will just place any modifier in the middel of a selection, this way you can move it to wherever you would like it and play around with it until you are happy with it.

Hope that helps.
