Hello again,

In the scene file below I created a geometric form that has a polygon selection set for the pentagonal faces. I want to replicate the rotation effect in the screenshot. When performing a normal rotate on the pentagon selection, it only affected the adjacent polygons. Is there a technique where the normal rotation can bend or curve all the connected polygons like the screenshot (so it bends all the arms coming from each pentagon)? I did try using a soft selection but it does not work on rotation.

Hi David,

The preparations need some steps, but then you have good control over it.

In the screen file above, I have first reset the pentagon polygon, then applied what I have shown in the movie clip.

Happy new year.

Many thanks again Sassi and appreciate the video. The non destructive twist is brilliant.

Happy New Year too, David

Thanks for the feedback, David, very nice of you!

Cheers
