How to wrap an object around another?

[Anonymous]

Hello sorry if this has already been asked. Basically I am trying to wrap a sheet like object around a staff shaped cylinder, as I need the cylinder to have a grid like pattern on top. I have made both objects and tried the bend tool on the sheet which does make it a 360* cylinder yet once I go to move this object it unwraps back into a sheet? I was wondering if anyone knew how or could recommend how I can get my diamond pattern on the staff, thank you.

Hi,

if the bend works for you then you could either move the bend object and the geometry together (and then still adjust the bend)

  OR

Edit->Delete by Type->History (ALT+SHIFT+D) which would "bake" the geometry and remove the bend deformer.
