looks like nothing has happened. That's because the bend
angle is set to zero. If you look in the Parameters section of
the Modify panel, you'll notice you have bend settings (Angle,
Direction, Bend Axis, etc.).
Adjust the Angle setting by placing your cursor on either
the up or down arrow, and click and drag up or down slowly.
You'll notice the cylinder is starting to wiggle a bit. Sweet,
huh? Now drag upward until you have an angle around 190.
Your cylinder has a nice bend to it now.
Go back to the Parameters area and adjust the direction of
the bend. Click and hold over the up and down arrows of the
Direction setting just like before, and start sliding up or down
with your mouse. I've been doing this a long time now and it
still cracks me up to make a cylinder wiggle back and forth.
Okay, so I'm easily amused.
Time for the juicy stuff. Go back to the Modifier List and
apply
another
Bend modifier to the cylinder. I know it's crazy,
but just do it. Now your stack should look like this:

The bend modi-

Just as before it, should look like nothing new has happened to
the cylinder. So let's make some adjustments to our new mod-
ifier. Apply these settings:
Angle: -76
Direction: 0
Bend Axis: Y
