I'm trying to shrink-wrap a simple rectangular shaped object onto another mesh. The vertical-axis works fine but it will not conform on the horizontal. Strange as the text in the middle worked fine. Could anybody help me please? enter image description here

  • Hi, sorry I still don't understand. I want to shrink the square object to the cylinder to then extrude it. like the lettering. Could you show me how to do it? Thanks – Rossington Steele Feb 14 '19 at 10:22

Shrinkwrap is doing its best, with the provided vertices.. it can't bend an edge defined by only two points.

  • Subdivide the edges you want to conform to the curvature
  • Adjust the offset

And.. if you want a less destructive way (fussy clients, etc.), assign a lattice deform modifier to some or all of the vertices of the square, text, etc. and Shrinkwrap the lattice. This allows an extrusion without applying the Shrinkwrap.

  • @cegaton thanks.. I probably should have made a ref. in the first place, rather than answering .. – Robin Betts Feb 14 '19 at 18:08
