How to easily create radial array objects in Blender

This specifically highlights why Blender is an amazing design tool. As it allows completely procedural setups to be created fast! And then, we only need to model a small part and see the beautiful result everywhere.

The output doesn't need to be a perfectly radial array either. It can work in many other ways like? 👀 Array on a curve, or deform with a lattice. Any other ways?

Blender is a great mixture between the freedom to create in Maya with the inherent and very easy-to-use parametricism that can achieve results like Grasshopper, while preserving some of the precision that people may be used to from Rhino and Sketchup.

Wow, that is so simple! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Can't find how to do this if you're note " centered " on the very origin of the scene, it's driving me nuts. Like I have a wheel rim that is not on the center of the scene and when I append the damn empty plain axes, it's location info is that it's not centered so it's messing everything up, I don't know how to deal with that

great video, cant figure out why my mirror modifier is mirroring along the right edge instead of the left edge on the y-axis; as a result, I do not get a trapezoid

Great video? Will this work with custom meshes? I‘m trying to make a vj loop (like Mutual Rytm animations for an Example)

[blackswan]

that is " can " - thanks Sir. Great Lesson

[elmar]

how did you move the origin point from center to x axis, @0:20?

[Superdupakawaii]

how do u change the rotation manually i dont get it

[Quirkykitty]

I don’t get why blender doesn’t have this as a modifier, or a setting on the array modifier

This is a great modeling tip. Unfortunately, it still doesn't do what I need it to do. Blender is great, but issues like radial arrays are so frustrating.

Update: I was able to finagle this to do what I needed it to do. Cumbersome, but it worked when nothing else did.
