go to vertex mode, you will see that the straight pipe you made now has alot of yellow points. select one row of those points and rotate them, you will need to do that with all the rows and you will need to make the curve by hand.
tip: make a large cilinder behind it so you can see how the curve must be.
hope this helps
here is also explained how you can do this if you scroll down a bit:

We will be working on a 'bend' too in the near future, that will allow you to take a straight cylinder (or any other mesh) and bend it into shape . Until that arrives, you'll have to handle this manually (see Elementrix' post above).
Also, I just posted a request to the community to see if anyone would be interested in creating a specific plugin for this purpose. |
