In this quick video tip for Blender 2.5 we take a look at how to use the Simple Deform modifier for adding twists, bends, tapers, or stretching to a model. The modifier does not offer too much control but in the right situation it can be very handle.

This is a great modifier to creat Iron Man
Thanks Jonathan!
I love this aspect to Blender Cookie. The long tutorials are great, but I also love these short ones that highlight a tool or function I rarely or never use.
This is important because Blender is so rich with features that it is hard to know all the tools available to you, and when you are doing production you tend to use what you know. This helps deepen your skill and make you a better Blender artist.
It also helps that they are short. I can usually find 10 minutes or so to watch one of these where the longer ones are a big commitment and so I do them less often.
I look forward to more!
how did u get the sphere to be so smooth? when i do it, it does not come out smooth like that.
I’ve got a question im new and i don’t knowe how to do this strapes on this ball can you give me some advice ?
Hi Ihaaa,
The stripes are made by going into Face Select mode with CTRL + Tab, selecting the faces that make up the stripes on the original sphere, extruding them by pressing E and then immediately after extruding pressing ALT + S to scale them in along their normals. After this is done you can use the Loop Cut tool with CTRL + R to add extra loops, sharpening up the edges.
I hope that helps!

I can’t seem to get this good of a render.
Any tips?
Here’s the best I can do so far, but it looks plasticy but an unreal plasticy.
