I tried the “Truebend Tool” and “Scale Tool”. Truebend tool can bend it, but then I can’t scale the surfboard partially for the form I need. Truebend is a bit hard to use since it only bends from the center.
This is the file of the form with the surfboard that I need to warp into. I can change it to another more simple 3D model of surfboards if that will make the process easier. However, I definitely want the strap in the center. Thank you all.
You do it the same way…just make sure to bend ‘-90 degrees’ when going the opposite direction’. It would help for you to check the surfboard length against your vertical and horizontal dimensions so that you know where to bend.
I think with so many bends you may be better off modeling it clean from scratch. Is the intent that this is fabricated? If so you wouldn’t actually bend a real surfboard but build a bend shelf to look like a surf board.
You could model it differently, starting with the simple 2D shape you want, which you round the corners, extrude it horizontally, draw the two curved ends of the surfboard, then extrude it to have a thickness, and bevel the edges. For the fin it is simpler, but the idea is the same.
