BLENDER: How to array object along curve without distortion and align to a surface normal.

[@tehyosh]

excellent. i always wanted to know how to add buttplugs to bubblegum strips!

[@esteroret1840]

wow me too .. all my problem solved now

[@TorIvanBoine]

nice .. plug

[@canis_machina7280]

Instead of tweaking the curve to the object, you can select the mesh, go into edit mode, select an entire loop that goes around the object, shift+D to duplicate, right click, separate selection, select the loop you separated, and right click, convert to curve. :)

[@simsimsim-n2t]

yes, but when we have a mesh with bad topology, we can't select any loop here dude

[@canis_machina7280]

@@simsimsim-n2t I see what you mean, but that's also why good topology is so important. It can make your workflow when detailing far easier. When I first started using blender 1.6 in 2001 shading errors and smooth shading options were terrible. It forced me to get used to plain quad and poly building haha.

[@jkartz92]

I guess this is not about the curve, but using the tilt!!

[@dr3ad698]

the obj look very sus

[@sassuskrassus3166]

What are you modeling there step Impostor?

[@HelicopterSchool]

Great. Thanks. Best instance object ever, Lol. :-)

[@StarLabs3D]

Good information 🇦🇶

[@agapon2023]

thx for the tutorial. it worked out pretty well, and I managed to make tank treads.

[@Sockpoppet]

Is there a way to maintain the shape of an object while allowing it to change size as it moves along a curve? For instance, when creating feathers for a wing?

[@3DCGdesign]

Works! Thank you! I'm putting Christmas lights on hung twisted wires. LOL

[@becareful8617]

helped a lot, thanks!

[@stasser_3dartist]

Nice video, many thanks! How can I convert instances to a mesh, to make them editable?

[@hugoantunesartwithblender]

search box, make instances real

Awesome tutorial!Thanks a lot!!!!

[@altar7885]

I HAVE to learn this!

[@rectangle_]

why not using the same curve from the stripes plane?

[@3d4urender74]

I think he was showing it for an example. Maybe someone wants to make spikes on character

I'm looking for an effect where octopus arms grow with suction cups just like a tree branch. do you have a tutorial thank you in advance 😐

[@blackswan6386]

hello sir, is it possible you help me quick, i have an object, parented to a triangle like you showed, now i have made a Arrow path from a plane and converted into curve object, all apply with ctrl+ a. but when i add the curve to the modifier my objects are stretched and in the curves its very flat..how can i fix this ? i face this issue everytime i use curve to arrange objects along...every single time it messed up, its like i cant use them..can you help me ? everything is on 0,0,0 location, i dont understand whats wrong

[@simsimsim-n2t]

Remember, add curve modifier to the triangle, not the object

[@LittleCaira]

This is great! Thank you!!

[@ashhaf63]

Thanks ....Great Tutorial

[@branimirbotev9257]

Does it has to follow the triangles ,is it easier this way,or it could work with quadrant too?

[@simsimsim-n2t]

Yes, with triagles you can avoid the non manifold issue

[@branimirbotev9257]

bro , i want to make phone cover with thread on all side of it , whenever i am applying armature on cover , the curve not moving along it. please help

This is so I wanna see it. Thanks

[@digitalcoffin666]

step 1: create a triangle * me watching him creating a circle then a triangle appears * DAFUQ

[@seankelly5318]

A 3 sided circle is a triangle.

[@armandooromeroo1307]

awesome, but i cant export to stl this array

[@simsimsim-n2t]

ctrl + A > make instances real

[@armandooromeroo1307]

My friend, you’re saved me! thanks a lot !

[@senatuspopulusqueromanus2082]

That is a very sus object you chose to use

[@MaximumAbility]

hahaha. what is this object? lol.
