How Do I Make Curved Cylinders?

Help and Feedback Building Support
#1

Hello fellow ROBLOX devs,
I am building a train and I had just solved one problem when I was hit with another. The train I want to build has poles that curve, and the Archimedes plug-in doesn’t process the curves as smooth as it does with parts. I know that there are toruses that I can use and that they are easy to model in Blender, but I have no clue on how to use Blender, and my goal for my game is to only use ROBLOX modeling techniques. So now I am stuck again on these poles and I once again am asking for help in the ROBLOX community.
Sincerely,

You can slowly rotate it and use a plugin like gap fill if you wish to do it on studio if you wish to use a mesh try blender warping there are some Yt tutorials.

Thank you for your efforts to solve my problem, but I don’t think Gap Fill can handle cylinders. I was also trying to make a game only using ROBLOX modeling and would rather stick to my goal.

You could always make a colander and where it bends use a circle to fill it in.

Wow. Can’t believe I never thought of doing that. Thank you very much for the solution, and I can finally continue building.

A little chunky, but I’ll take it. Now I can finally do this!

Sorry for a late reply, but this plugin should help you:

This will make it easier and quicker to create curved cylinders, and it works the same way as @Strongjohnfgamer described. Hope it helps.
