Hello,

I want to turn a 2d plane into a 3d cylinder. Ive tried changing the dimension of my image from 2d to 3d and then using 3d Extrusion to give my object depth but i dont know how I can round out the edges to create a cylinder shape. The purpose of this is to create a cylinder with a candy cane patter and then rotate the cylinder around its y axis center to produce a spiral/climbing effect.

You are better off with CG/Animation software made for the purpose.

I would use Blender for this, then just add the rendered video as media
