The little tips, like how the order of applying scale makes a difference, are very helpful.

Thanks so much man 😁. KDS has a really useful comment (that I didnt know), you can change these after the scaling as well using the mean radius for the vertices in the properties pannel.

I’m right with you on Canterbury cathedral. What an amazing work of art and engineering! I’ve been wanting to do Chartres in Blender and your arch method looks like it’ll should great for my arches and and buttresses. Thanks for posting. PS: subscribed

Love the little bits of info with what addons you are using. I'm familiar with them myself but if I was watching this as a noob, I would have been totally lost without the little mention of the addons for sure. Great technique on both approaches imo and great demo all around. Subscribed mate, keep up the top quality vids :)

While you were scaling the mean radius of the selected vertices of the curve 8:32, you see in the properties panel mean radius. If you set those to 1 it should be fine.

Very interesting. I would have liked to see you fix the top of the arch on the right :)
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
That can be done by changing the width of that point if you want to keep it as a curve but best would be "convert to mesh" and then just move the points down a little on the z axis.

I think the Screw modifier could be used instead of the Spin tool, giving a nondestructive workflow.
@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын
Thats quite fun! You'd need to use an empty to perform the screw around but I hadn't thought of that. Great comment! 😁👍
@EmilySmirleGURPS Жыл бұрын
Confirmation. And you don't need to change the Origin or rely on the Cursor, which can be handy. Create 2 empties - place the first one where you were placing the cursor, place the other at the centre of the arch (where you placed the origin). Set up your Screw - Angle should be somewhere between around 63 - this way the number of steps you pick will be the number of loops on one side. - Screw should be zero meters or it'll go spiraling off into the distance. Fun, but not what we want today. - Iterations should be 1, again, we don't need big circles or anything. - your Axis probably has to be either X or Y, depending on your use case. - Set the Axis object to be the "Cursor" empty - Steps gets you your resolution. -turn on Merge, double check the distance doesn't clobber distances on your profile object. Then you add the Mirror modifier like you set it up, with the addition of setting the Mirror object to be the "Origin" empty. If you feel like doing a video on this, go to town.

@@EmilySmirleGURPS I agree with the above. I was just playing with it myself. I would probably move the origin (actually Id move the vertices of the plane in edit mode) so that the origin is the centre of the arch but thats just a personal preference. 😁
@EmilySmirleGURPS Жыл бұрын
@@ArtisansofVaul Yes, definitely down to preference there. Putting the origin in the centre means it's in the logical point for the final object, which is a good practice. My logic has to do if you're sharing the mesh data between multiple objects, like to re-use it for multiple different shaped/sized arches/pillars/whatever and have them all update together when I change it, which is probably a bit more niche.
@Revenant483 Жыл бұрын
Awesome tutorial and explanation ΛₒV. I have been wondering how one would pull this off. I was thinking of how to create a temple door / window frame and this helps a lot! I like the mirror / spin tool method. It makes the most topographically clean arch. Like you said it all depends on how many steps you want to do to achieve the result, and weather or not you need to edit the result.

I found a way to flatten the edges at the very beginning of the video. We can just hold S+X+0 or S+Y+0. Depending on which axis.
@ArtisansofVaul4 ай бұрын
If you're thinking of when I use align that flatten in a chosen direction to the furthest point. What you've suggested will average the position of the two vertices, messing up the bevel that was there.

how do i then incorporate the arch into a wall and make a hole through it?
@ArtisansofVaul4 ай бұрын
For that you'll need to use boolean functions. The difference boolean to make the hole and the union to combine the arch with the wall. For the difference I find the addon boxcutter speeds it up a lot.
