DESCRIPTION
It is not often that Autodesk updates 3ds Max in a way that I find particularly useful, but 2023.3 is an exception.

In the latest version of 3ds Max, the Array Tool was added and ever since it has proven to be very useful for placing models and saving a lot of time. The Array Tool has compiled many different individual tools and turned them into one comprehensive modifier. In this video, we are going to experiment with the many different uses and arrays that the Array modifier has to offer. We will explore the many uses of this tool for ArchViz and 3d modeling.

The Array Tool allows you to create multiple instances of an object along a specified path or in a certain area, making it a must-know tool for any 3D artist. We'll cover all the settings, including Count, Offset, Align to Spline, and more, to help you get the most out of this tool. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced 3D modeler, this tutorial will provide you with the knowledge you need to use the Array Modifier with confidence. I hope you enjoy watching my process, and I hope you are able to learn something from it.

Thank you for the examples! Array is pretty powerful to be sure, it got kind of overlooked I feel and undeservedly so!

Thanks for the lesson, and for your efforts!

Your UI is very interesting. It looks like a hybrid between the old 3ds max interface and the more modern look. I like it. 😁 I used to use Spacing tool and Path deform (WSM) to get a model to follow a spline and I think another one was actually snapshot which is one of the lesser known techniques for this. Happy with this new array tool, I guess my only reservation would be does it have the ability to follow a spine using a specific orientation, for example a fence needs to be facing a certain way. Thanks for the tutorial. Could I kindly recommend you do a V-ray enmesh tutorial please as I haven't had much play time with it and I would love to hear your opinion.

This spline on surface option is a bomb!!!

Separate objects slow max down, not poly count. Attach. Cheers good vid.

C4D has had a cloner object for years, decades even.

The fact that it just now has been added to 3DSMax makes me physically ill.
