    A really useful tool (still can't believe that Blender doesn't have anything like this). A "Must have" if you need to do some simple bends.

    THE most convenient way to bend. It could do with a little more user-friendliness, but once you understand how to use it, it's brilliant!

    Fantastic tool, yet it falls short a tad in ease of use. I wish it had easier to understand UI gizmos to lead the user in defining axis and direction and it's definitely in need of a revert option so that the user won't have to exit the tool and invoke the command once again to start from scratch.

      You can drag on the different Axis to bend again at anytime, then press Q to commit when the bending is correct.

    As a steampunk artist, I need pipes so often and I've tried all sorts of methods. This is definitely the easiest way to bend pipes. Such a game changer, thank you!

    You do need to read the explainer- I tried this in object mode first, and then Edit mode with edges selected and was confused at first as to why it didn't work. But if you use it in face mode, it works exactly as expected- in fact it works in exactly the way we all wish the Simple Deform/ Bend modifier would work (except it's a permanent bend, not a non-destructive modifier). No faffing about with empties or workarounds, just select your faces and bend.

    Like it took a decade for someone to finally invent this!!!! Unbelievably invaluable. This literally made most of my workflow unbelievably easier. The number of steps to do what this does intuitively is ridiculous. Thank you for making this and well worth the price.

    I have meanwhile bought almost all of your add-ons, and Simple Bend is another useful helper for modeling that I'll find using myself quite a bit. I definitely would recommend it!

    However, I'm afraid I have to agree with one of the other reviews complaining about the lack of a better explanation of the tool.

    If anyone's interested, I have just published a short review of the add-on on YouTube that might be helpful for some of you (my video includes narration):

    Although your demonstration video on YouTube is a sped up video with no narration (as a paying customer I wish that either a proper documentation and/or a proper demonstration video should be part of the quality requirements for all add-ons) it might be a good idea to add at least a link to it here on the product page.

    Other than that I have no complaints. Always looking forward to whatever you'll come up with next. Keep up the good work!
