Blender Quick Tips 001: Using Array Modifier Along Curve Paths [Blender 2.82 Tutorial]

Welcome to Blender Quick Tips!

In this quick Blender tutorial you will learn how to use the array modifiers to duplicate or instance an object along a curve path.

This is an essential time saving technique which will be a great addition to any 3D artists arsenal.

The programme I am using to create this 3D effect is called Blender and you can download it for free here:

If you are trying to do this without your object mesh deforming you will need to use another method, check out my Blender Quick Tip 008 if you are having this issue.

Tip: For those wondering why their object is weirdly displaced from the curve (if you're trying this on a different project than the tutorial like I am):
Object itself needs to be at World origin, not just the Object origin. I kept wondering why my object was displaced from the curve, until I realized it was displaced by the same distance as the object itself was from the World origin.
Thanks for the alternative method of using the array to create a curve tutorial! It was really useful!

Thank you. Complete Blender noob and have been trying to figure this out for 3 days...

If you have weird mesh deformation in my case converting curve into mesh and then mesh back to curve helped (also applying transformations by pressing Ctrl+A)

Really nice alternative for making circular arrays. Awesome, thanx mate!!!

[jaffry]

Perfect! simple tutorial, right to the point! thanks!

[HarryMcKenzieTV]

hmmm but that deforms the cube especially when the circle is small. how do you not deform the cubes?

[mackenziealtavilla]

Who do you think you are with these perfect 1 min tuts, Ian Hubert??

[BILALscy]

my object couldn't facing to centered of the 3d cursor, the bezier circle do work but they facing the same direction

[anthonyfalsone]
