Is there curve deform in zbrush?

Hi I would like to ask if there are ways to deform mesh along curve.
I found my ideal deforming way in blender tutorial (Blender tutorial - How to create Paper Roll animation - 192 - YouTube)but Its convinient if I could do in zbrush.
I hope any advices thank you.

I don’t know Blender but look at Gizmo : Deformers or try using Dynamics to roll up a low poly mesh. Search Michael Pavlovich’s YT channel for extensive details on Deformers and Dynamics. Using Dynamics, for example, he rolls up a sheet.

Thank you I will find in deformer tutorials.

The Gizmo Bend Curve deformer may be useful. However in this situation since it appears as if you’re just duplicating a very simple mesh, it may be easier to simply create one mesh in the proper form to begin with then duplicate it.

The regular Gizmo soft falloff feature could be used to quickly curl a mesh. If the Focal Shift value for the Transpose brush is set to values greater than -100, then the operations with the Gizmo will only partially deform a mesh. You could use this with the rotate function to curl a mesh.

A brand new tool available to ZBrush subscribers today is the new “Anchors” brush which allows you to very quickly set two simple points and deform a mesh in screen space by rotating one around the other. This could be used with a soft-edged mask to quickly curl a mesh in the viewport.

Thank you very much. I will bend with soft falloff feature.
Anchors brush seems so nice too.
I used Bend curve deform to make curve this time.

Match maker also looks useful.

Thank you.
