And thanks for showing the vanilla to the poors like me

bro that's super simple in vanilla and hard ops, epic.

You can set the count to "Fit curve" to have it automatically pick the number required to fit the curve.

Thanks as usual for the great tutorials. The audacity of some people. It takes lots of time to learn the software, the workflow and the tricks and to make great videos . I think Josh is incredibly generous with is time and sharing is knowledge Weekly !

Josh this video was a lifesaver I couldn't understand how to use the curve and array synergy before this video. thank you

Thank you Josh, I like the tutorials where you show the vanilla workflow and the use of addons. So everybody can learn and understand the basic workflow and also see how much faster is modelling with paid addons. I mean these addons exist for a reason and nobody is forced to use addons, everybody can use the vanilla Blender and still create awesome models! Another thing I want to mention. You know how to record good videos, you explain difficult and complex technical subjects in an easily understandable and entertaining way, you put a lot of work and time into your videos. And you are successful, your channel is growing. And that is a good thing! If you can earn money this way, good, so be it! We all need to eat and pay our bills. And I prefer you sitting at home, recording tutorials and doing things you like in Blender, so I can learn cool stuff about this awesome Blender software instead of you working at a game developing company or other corporate working 60 to 80 hours shifts for a wage just covering your monthly costs. "money hungry"... yeah, sure... I stop ranting , please keep up the good work, thank you very much!

Instead of a fixed count in the array modifier, you could choose Fit Curve (and select your curve). It will add as many copies as needed to best match the curve length. Some scaling may be needed.

was the Hard Ops addon was what you did to get the circle curves around the edges of the cylinder?

Hello hello ! aweomse tutorial ! i will do it everywhere on my models where i have cables and stuff hanging around, it make them feel so much prettier ! I just have a question, at 1:50, you make a edge loop, and then you "split it" into 2 more and stuff, but the buttons doesn't show up on the screen like some of your other tutorials, what key/macro/... do you used for this ? it would save me so much time when making cylinoids and stuff ! (i have hardops in case it is added by it !) Also you then "extrude along normals", which is super mega handy, how did you do it ?

@JoshGambrell

Just add an edge loop and bevel it with CTRL+B. 1 segment bevel, boom done. You can extrude along normals by making a selection, pressing Q and ALT clicking “EM Macro”; basically does the same thing as E and ALT+S

Depends really. This one I had doodled with before recording it. So I kind of had an idea going into it. Usually I doodle since I struggle just picturing things in its fullest form in my head, and doodling allows me to picture things as I go.

Great learning as always with the Blender Bros ;o) - In suggestion, is it possible to continue on cables and pipes attached to arms, legs (f.e.) rigging, hook-anchoring, movement simulation tutorials...? Could be awesome. Thank you ;o)

Oh! Thanks! But here's little tip, if you want count of your objects to fit the curve, just change fit type of array from "Fixed count" to "Fit the curve" and select your curve!

I personally watch your videos for the Tips and Tricks in HardOps actually.

Is it possible to duplicate a "boxcutted" mesh including the cutters?

How do you do it that blender shows a temporary centered copy of the object that u edit?

Hope the new sale gonna use addons.

Cooll

Where did you get add one on minute 2:20-2:40? The circle cut or something you did ?

Haven’t tried yet but I’m impatient, does it fit the curve even if it’s not even ? I mean with on side of the curve bigger than the other

Josh don't listen to people. I'm very grateful You show things with different ways. Thank You!

i have hard ops. i can get the vanilla method working sometimes, depends on the save file. but i cant get the hard ops method working at all haha. i assume there was an update and now theres an additional non-intuitive step needed. wouldnt be blender if that werent the case haha.

lovve hardops but for some weird reason i prefer the vanilla version here. lool

I say this with every Blender tutorial I watch but, this didn't work for me at all. First, the object doesn't move to the curve, it floats in space. Second, when I finally get it to array in a sensible tube-like repetition, it follows a curve that doesn't even exist in my scene. Like a crazy zig zag curve I never made. Edit: I think I fixed it... it has something to do with moving the object, whereby the object getting closer in space to the curve, makes it behave more predictable, and as you move it away from the curve it starts to spaz out.

There You said it again : vanilla😈

hmm, mine is incredibly streteched.... scales applied too.
