Does anyone know how to bend a cylinder in Blender? I'm trying to model a product for a client and can't seem to figure out how. I've done it in an older version but it's been a while since I've used it. I've attached a photo of the product I'm trying to model.

How do you mean "bend"? Either extruding and rotating, or you could use a bezier curve, or, if you're talking about the raising the center of the grill/element/thing then you could use a lattice deform.

I mean taking a straight cylinder and bending it into a torus. Can't use the default torus in Blender because it is too thick. This product should be very simple to model except for the two torus shapes, that's what I can't figure out how to do.

You could use a bezier circle. Or, you could use a torus and then, in edit mode, use the shrink/fatten tool which is in the tools panel.

Fatten/Shrink totally worked!! Much thanks!
