What's the best method for creating Gothic Arches? - Screw Modifier

[@FowaDeLuz]

Emily, you are the bomb!! Also thank you to the Artisans for passing her wisdom on to the rest of us!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

😁 Thanks and I couldn't agree more.

[@Highcastle_of_Geek]

Such a great solution and immediately lends itself to modular assets to add to the library! Thanks bunches Artist Hands of All!!!!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

@@Highcastle_of_Geek Haha. My pleasure 😉😉😉 Lmao to Artist Hands!

[@chesterdays2299]

Well done Emily! And Artisans for passing it on. A classic technique.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Cheers from me and I'm Emily is happy to have your thanks too 😁👍🏻

Ah yes It’s one of my favorite blender KZbinrs - Adsense of wool

[@ArtisansofVaul]

🤣

[@ArtisansofVaul]

You should hear me when I have a cold!

[@ikonka77]

Definitely the best method for creating an arch. Thank you so much for that series, exploring different ways for the same effect is the best way to learn.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

I agree. And thanks so much. I think knowing the options is really handy in Blender as there are loads of ways to get the same result, glad to hear people think the same.

[@Silaan]

Huh... that is a great way to do that. Wouldn't have thought of the screw modifier for this.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

👍🏻

[@darrennew8211]

I envy your organization that lets you find your previous files to make new videos with them. ;-) Very neat technique, and again I'm reminded to always look in the options of my modifiers to find cool techniques.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

🤣 In this instance that may have been more luck than judgement.

[@artemoz726]

Parenting the empty to the object so they can be moved together seems to be pretty frequent advice in cases like this. Thanks for the video.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Yeah that's a sensible way to go so you don't accidently cause yourself issues later.

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

One thing that is great about Blender, is that their are a ton of ways to achieve your goals!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Exactly 👌🏼

[@276matto]

This way much better i think 🤔

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Yeah I agree. A lot of positives to it.

[@Revenant483]

Thanks for the UpdateΛₒV! 🍻 That is brilliant Emily! It is great and fast. I like that you can easily adjust all angles and level of smoothing real time.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Yeah, the non-destructive workflow is great. 👍🏻

Thanks Emily and Artisans! Yet another way to skin a cat so to speak (no cats were harmed in the making of this comment ;) ) Never thought of using a screw modifier in this fashion before!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

🤣 And cheers man. Yeah it's a good way to use it.

[@roundninja]

Is there an easy way to use screw or spin to make irregular arches? Like trefoil, horseshoe, Mughal, or baroque arches? Or is it better to follow the original method for those, and edit the vertices before you convert the mesh to a curve?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Hmm.... Probably and then use a radial array but thay won't join it together well. Maybe a manipulated mirror modifier for a quad shape.

[@abhirutmeherishi5738]

Arent these already there in extra objects wall factory?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Not unless wall factory has had a major update Im not aware of. It cant make custom arches to a specific profile and it only make arches as part of a wall section. If thats changed please do let me know though.
