is an After Effects plugin from aescripts + aeplugins designed to overcome the common limitations of native bending effects like "CC Bend It." It allows for smooth, non-destructive bending of any layer type—including rasters, vectors, and shape layers—without the restrictive cropping or "cutting" issues often found in built-in tools. Why use Bendio? Bendio stands out because it preserves the integrity
This is Bendio's most powerful feature. You can set up to 8 "Attach Points" on a layer and generate Null Objects that follow the bend perfectly. This makes it ideal for character rigging, such as attaching leaves to a bending stem or accessories to a moving arm. Why use Bendio
It works seamlessly with Illustrator files and shape layers without requiring you to pre-compose them first. Key Features & Workflow
When a layer bends so far that it overlaps itself, you can use the Composite Operator to decide if the end of the bend should render on top of or underneath the start.
Unlike "CC Bend It," which often cuts off edges, Bendio provides a Width Ratio setting to widen the render area and reveal your entire layer.
