How I Wrapped a 3D Pattern around a Cylinder in Blender
In this video, I'll show you my technique for wrapping a 3D pattern around a cylinder using the Curve Modifier in Blender.
*Update* Blender has moved things around since I recorded this video, so when you get to the 2:38 mark and I tell you to hit Shift+A, go to "Curve" and select "Circle", that doesn't work anymore. Now you now have to hit Shift+A, go to "Curve", then go to "Simple", then select "Circle".
