hi,
im trying to model a tire tread using this tutorial. https://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php...rticle&sid=483
Its made for max but i can follow it right up to the part where i bend the tread into a cylinder shape. I tried the bend deformer, but cant get it to bend properly into a perfect cylinder shape. Are there any other tools to do this, or am i stuck? or are there any better tutorials for modelling tread?> thx
