non symmetric bend problem

non symmetric bend problem

Hello,

I'm designing a blister top-cart but it needs a smooth bending.
The polygon is maded from an illustrator compouth path who i made editable.
Because the pollygons are not symmetric, i cant bend the blister in a smooth way. I have tried: Wrap, IK

Is it possible to bend this?
File is included.

Hi.
Not quite sure about the result, but think it´s better to have kind of grid as a mesh for bending instead of a triangulated one.

With kindest regards

Hi Frank,


Great, thats realy helping me!
But how did you convert to that grid mesh?
Or did you model it yourself.

H Robbert.
That is quite simple to model. Grab a plane, go in front view and in wireframe mode. Scale and divide the plane along the rectangle til you got an nice amount of iterations. Make the plane editable - cover the edges along the convexities, scaling horizontally. When done with the overall shape call the shell tool once. Done.

With kindest regards

Thanks Frank!
