"Bend" Distortion
-
Fredo6:
Do you have anything like this in your bag of tricks. It would take geometry and "bend" it.
This example isn't very good because I only rotated a few hidden sections, it should look like a smooth, non-segmented "trunk". Also this is only "bent" along the blue axis plane. Could a more complex distortion, for example, along the blue and then the green axis plane be done as you might see in the trunk of a palm tree?

I have this one in preparation, for a composite model (i.e. any drawing elements, groups, etc... with texture transfer, etc...) and a curve in 3D space.
Actually, the main difficulty is about managing some topological cases where it is necessary to remove and cut faces that are squizzed in the curvature. -
