Hi guys! I have a object that is very thin and 14cm by 45cm long. Like a length of cardboard I want to have several bends in it but these bends must be editable and the object must be one mesh so there are no breaks at the edges. I have tried to do this with bones and joints and I have managed to bend the object but the edges on the bends arn't straight and its causing my mesh to warp. All I want are sharp 90 degree bends. It can't be that difficult?

try doing it with your main mesh and a few bend deformers. zero out the value on your phong tag to get more angled, less smoothed look.
how subdivided is your mesh?
- Fairly Divided. Length ways there are 45 subdivision one for each centimeter . I want it to act kind of like an accordion. All springy.benvoid

alt approach. use a spline deformer. then you can animate the scale of the spline & mesh will follow suit.

This is my modal so far
How do I these edges sharper?

have you tried messing with the weight tool? look to see if each of the points are weighted at either 0% or 100%. No values in between.

If you have the object in a hypernurbs you can add edge cuts on the inside and out side of the bends very close together to get a sharper corner

Thanks fellas. I'll have a little play around.
