    3:47 - be sure to apply all transforms before adding array modifier, otherwise you will get weird offsets based off of the empty in the scene.

    Ok, this is really hard to control but I finally managed to do this one a single object. But it seems to not work if you use mult objects or even instancing on faces and array the plane with mult obj parented to that plane. But at least I have it working now with one object so.... There must be a simpler way though to array a group of objects around in a perfect circle w/o manually placing them. Oh well.... the joy and insanity of Blender I think. thx for the tut!

    Unless I'm missing something, which is totally possible, this only works in a vacuum. When you're actually modeling something, and you have a specific point you need the thing to be, then you can't do this. because your empty needs to be at the zero point if you don't want a weird almost random bunch of objects that come out all different sizes and positions. Because you can't set an empty's location to zero without moving it to zero. Is there a way to make this functional that I'm missing?

    I tried "fit curve" and put a circle out and eye droppered it. It just kept arraying in a straight line. So I guess "fit curve" is broken? That's why you used an empty? thx

    When I try doing the the gear part of the tutorial the array, at count 4 for example, scales up the selected object at each count. It doubles the size of the original item with each count. This happens when I have an empty axis selected as my object offset. Using 4.0

    This tutorial is pretty good. One issue for me is, as I build the model, not everything revolves around the world center so the array modifier stops working for me because I can't figure out how to move the origin to the exact center of where I want to rotate the object around. For example if you made a 2nd but different gear and wanted to place it right underneath the first gear, it's not possible from this tutorial.

I duplicate the object, rotate it around the center by specific degrees, then hit shift+R a bunch of times and it keeps copying it in a circle, it works really well. plus then I have actual objects. The array modifier never worked well for me (I'm doing 3d printing with blender).

    @@dronefootage2778 Modifiers are just math done to existing objects that tells the program to do stuff. They aren't 'geometry' on their own. But you can hit the 'apply' button on each modifier, to turn them into geometry. This is done so you can repetitive stuff quickly - like rotating, mirroring and so on. Once you are happy with your work - apply and 'voila' geometry you didn't need painstakingly create face by face :D
