2- Z

    <Bend>.limit Boolean default: false

When on, applies limit constraints to the bend effect.

    <Bend>.upperlimit Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, alias: Upper_Limit

The upper boundary in world units from the bend center point beyond which the bend no longer affects geometry.

    <Bend>.lowerlimit Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, alias: Lower_Limit

The lower boundary in world units from the bend center point beyond which the bend no longer affects geometry.

    <Bend>.center Point3 default: [0,0,0] -- animatable

You can translate and animate the center, altering the Bend gizmo’s shape, and thus the shape of the bent object.

    <Bend>.gizmo SubAnim

You can transform and animate the gizmo like any other object, altering the effect of the Bend modifier.

    <Bend.gizmo>.position Point3 default: [0,0,0] -- animatable

The position of the gizmo object. Translating the gizmo translates its center an equal distance.

    <Bend.gizmo>.rotation Quat default: (quat 0 0 0 1) -- animatable

The rotation of the gizmo object. Rotating the gizmo takes place with respect to its center.

    <Bend.gizmo>.scale Point3 default: [1,1,1] -- animatable
