Tip from a total newie.

I am just running the testversion of Rhino. Had to transform a starfield consisting of thousands of stars around a half sphere.

I didn't get the result I wanted. All stars were skewed. Until I found out that the distance between the source-object and reference plane mattered A LOT. So the distance between my source object and the reference plane had (in my case) to be somewhat equal to the height of my half sphere in order to produce the desired result.

Awesome program and YT channel!

It looks great. But what if you only have curved surface and no base surface. Is there a way to place objects array over that?

[camilovinatea]

Hello! this is great, thank you very much. Would this be usefull if I wanted to create water drops, let's say in a curved roof o a car?

[voyagerneptune]

hello

How do you let a shape like a road which is iregular in its form flow along surface that is a TYPOGRAPHY (big and uneven surface)
i want the road to lay on the typogfragy and follow
