Hi,
I’m trying to bend a cylinder I made with CylinderGeometry on a specific path (I have x, y and z) like the picture in this question. Is this possible?
You can quite probably do it with some simple math, but since it’s already there - maybe CurveModifier will be helpful?

A variation of this:

You can find the arrangement of the vertices there:

Hi!
You can bend a geometry at your will, using some maths: https://jsfiddle.net/prisoner849/6a7xm77w/ (this is one of my old examples, written for THREE.Geometry, but now I made it work with THREE.BufferGeometry)

I felt like bending them like this
With my addon THREEf you can also bend cylinders and create spirals among other things.
Addon. Produces almost infinite many time-varying geometries with functions
