Simple Deform Modifier

I've been using Cinema 4D for a while, and now that I'm using Blender, I'm encountering many limitations with Blender's Simple Deform modifier compared to Cinema 4D's Bend Deformer. I found this add-on that does a great job ( extensions.blender.org/add-ons/simple-deform-helper/ ), and it replicates Cinema 4D's Bend Deformer very well, but I find it a bit unstable, especially when I try to animate with Simple Deform activated. It starts moving strangely and slightly deforms the object in the animation.

I'd like to know if it's possible to suggest further development of this default "Simple Deform" tool based on the add-on I've shown you.

This is a tool I originally developed many years ago — back when Geometry Nodes didn’t even exist.

I’ve recently completely overhauled it, and it should now be capable of fully surpassing Cinema 4D.
