First, Thank for your reply. I tried to bend off. But, the result of bending off is not smooth. Please tell me more..

Image 02 is smooth; it has bending applied. Create labelled drawings of:

  1. desired image
  2. image that is wrong

I think the problem here might be the mesh its self, and perhaps also in the UV mapping. As I understsnd it (and I don't understand it very well) an object can only bend along seams in the mesh the more seams the smoother the bending. See the comparison between your figure and a Poser box prop when a magnet is applied, the boxprop has more places where it can bend.

I think whether the vertices are split or welded may also have an effect on how the object bends, I think welded vertices will will give a smother bend.

I an no expert on any of this, but hopefully someone with more knowledge on this subject will either confirm or deny what I have said above.

The way an object bends is also controled be the Joint Paramiters. The graphic above showes a figure that was made out of two Poser box props. It demonstrates how using the Jount Editor can change the way the figure bends.
