Modified Cylinder

i want this cylinder bending

first on one axis, then possibly on two axis x & z

i know that the clue is in this method but i can't think of some way how i could get the translation of the points to get some bending effects



can anybody give me some hints ?



Cream

Sounds like what you really want is a pipe?

pipe sounds good

yes that would come near to it



i want to make this







become look more natural



althoug i have this translation problem this would not look good if it wouldnt fit together
