hi i know this vid was 3 years ago but i have a little problem... my empty is doing some weird stuff to my array modifier like making the parts crazy small or make them spin 90° with every copy. what should i do?

This is a wonderful tutorial. The Empty technique is what I've been looking for to acheive scaling and rotation with arrays. Thank you!

Thank you for this tuturial. It's exactly what I needed. I'm making a ram horn, using the same repeating shape. It needs to both follow a curve, rotate slightly, and decrease in scale as it reaches the end tip.

Mind blowing. I never thought about adding a relative offset to the z axis! I did follow along with one of the palm tree tutorials and thats really cool, but I noticed with the leaves rotating around the empty object, that they would rotate in a 3 dimensional fashion if I adjusted where the empty was, as an experienced modeler would expect. But it works well for the natural chaos of plant leaves growing, ty for showing me the staircase! Very cool!

Super clear learned a lot. Thanks- Your measured teaching is so helpful to get the content. Excellent teacher!

Thanks for this. Currently doing a big personal project that'll have me learning multiple things: Building a city in Blender. Came to this video to see if I could arrays and curves to build the city's roads, overpasses, and so forth... And I just noticed you've got a video specifically for roads in my recommendations. Think I'll be surfing the channel, now.

For those who can't ROTATE the empty object: 1. Try to apply "All transforms" or "Scale and Rotation" by pressing CTRL+A in Object mode If u still can't rotate it : 2. Press N and go to : Tool > Options > Transform and uncheck everything ( idk why this works but... it works )

Very nice tutorial. Does anyone know how can I do this with a collection where got many different objects not array??? Thanks.

By applying object offset to empty suddenly the object (cube) converts to the array of small and big cubes. Can you help by guiding what should I do in this case?

thanks

Hi. Some of the videos in your "Blender Modifier Tutorials" PLAYLIST are not playing at all. Please check.

How to create an array on X axis with incremental Z axis rotations?

I am trying to *EVENLY* distribute 56 instances of a mesh around an empty, such that the instances fill the perimeter equidistantly of an imaginary circle placed around the empty, in other words, there will be 56 instances placed evenly around the empty. At the moment, using the method you and other KZreadrs have specified, I can only get the 56 instances to 3/4 fill the circle surrounding the empty, with a gap of 90 degrees between the first and the last instance left unpopulated. Please advise.

If I want to make an array of objects that only stand upright, how do I do it? Let's say I want to make a guard rail?

arrya how to separate each id into independent objects, rather than geometric structure independent

I'm trying to apply the array modifier to a boolean cut to "repeat the hole" along one face of the cube, but I can't get it done.

Thanks for the good video. I recently made a Egyptian temple and used a lot of array modifiers for buildings and pillars. I had problems though to mirror some individual things because of the array. Both objects where mirrored. Is it possible to mirror one of the array objects?

@TheCGEssentials

4 жыл бұрын

Is your array modifier above or below your mirror modifier in your modifier stack?

👌👍

Here's an intuitive explanation: The array modifier does this: Take the object, apply X to it. Take the new object, apply X to it. (Repeat N times) the array modifier (by itself) lets you make X be a translation op (ONLY), and lets you define N. The Empty, on the other hand, (by itself) lets you define translation, rotation and scaling, to nothing in particular. By selecting said empty as OBJECT offset, You can override the simple X that the array gives you, and replace it with the enhanced ops that the empty gives you, as your new X

@eitantal726

Would have been easier if the array modifier would let you specify all these 3 ops, and not having to use an empty as a crutch

is possible to replicate sketchup divide function?

I am using blender 2.9 and do not get the same behaviour as you with respect to the empty. I create the empty as shown, but as soon as I select object Offset and then select the empty object the elements of the array after element 1 disappear. A little portion of element two appears that perhaps corresponds in size to the size of the empty, but the rest of the items just disappear. I then tried again with a new file. I created a cube, scaled it down to look like a step. Added an array modifier, set the count to 5 and set the relative X offset to 1.5. I positioned the cursor on the lower portion of the first element and then added an empty plan axis. As soon as I did this, the other elements of the array all assumed different heights. This was before I modified the empty in any way. I have been unable to create the ascending stairs pattern you show.

@seanosuilleabhainemerald

2 жыл бұрын

I found a solution. Before you use the empty as the object offset you must reset the scale, location, rotation parameters of the object you are applying the array to. To do this type Ctrl + A then select scale, location, rotation to reset these to 0.

I solved the problem, u simply need to apply all the transforms by clicking "Ctrl + A" and the objects will follow correctly the curve

why is it that every time I use this modifier the objects just get bigger and bigger never matching the proper scaling. idk what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds like you need to apply your model rotation and scale

Question, can this be done along a Mesh, and not just a Curve?

@TheCGEssentials

I'm not sure how this would work - a curve gives a linear path for something to be copied along - a mesh wouldn't provide that - what are you trying to achieve?

@@TheCGEssentials I have tried everything. Hello. Thanks for you feedback ! I'm starting from a blank document. I put a cube that I flatten to make a step like yours. I produce 6 steps with the count box. Then I place my empty like you and as soon as I connect the offset object to my initial step, the other steps are stretched and double their volumes, triple, quadruple ... (the second is double, the third is at least three times bigger, etc.) I your case, when you connect the offset nothing happens, as you say in the video. Something happens to you only when you apply changes to your empty. I can't figure out what's going on ... You have an idea... ? ... sorry for those beginners questions.. and my broken english...

After much frustration, I need to say this doesn't appear to work in the z offset. All I got was a deformed shape which didn't follow the curve (yes I did apply the scale). It's working perfectly on the x offset so all I had to do was rotate my mesh.

its so annoying, when you make the item bigger, the scale is also changing. its impossible in object mode to make it bigger without changing the scale what messes up the array
