Bending extrusion along y-axis

Support Modeling
1

Hi - I’d like to bend an extruded pattern (a dollar sign for example) along the y-axis to match the curve of a cylinder to make it look as if the dollar sign was extruded from that cylinder.

Shrink wrap doesn’t seem to work and proportional edit is very ugly and chunky.

Thanks

You could try the warp tool.

holy CRAP, that is absolutely PERFECT!!!

The Warp tool is a little-known tool in Blender…
<< too bad.

Thanks a ton, Atom!!
