well, that says it.
I haven't used twist at all since being in the "little shop o'horrors" I've tried it but it doesnt seem to be very useful in any modelling where you use more than a single prim. Now,...
Bend on the X and Y axis... well, I've only wished this was in every single primitive I worked on, which numbers 1000+ according to acct history.
I thkink this would make most if not all modelling easier and more attractive, appealing, rewarding, etc. It would open the door to so many new ways to build.

Not saying it not a good idea - just that I think the reason they dont have it is the same reason they gave me on my rounded edges idea. That would expotentially raise the number of surfaces on an object. Im no 3D guru by any stretch of the imagination but I think there is a way to curve a plane surfaced object with out doing lots and lots of little planes on the curve. Spheres and toruses get away with it because the surface is a radius of points and doesnt start life as a plane. Im sure any of the Linden programmers or the more 3D literate members here can chime in with a more lucid response

I don't think bend would add that many more polys that twist, which we already have.
