Hello,
I am making an old train. I have made the body of the train, however, the ring around the front of the engine, with bolts on it, is making me pull my hair out. I want to instance bolts, facing along the normals, around the ring. I have separated the front face of the ring, and separated the edge loop that goes down the center of the face, to use for the points. But all geonode setups that I have seen don’t work for me. is there a way I can post the blend file, I am a new Blender artist, and it doesn’t allow me to add an attachment?
You can accomplish this effect by using Geometry Nodes (tutorial below) or the Particle System (I won’t share a tutorial to it because its considered relatively outdated compared to geometry nodes).
Simply drag-and-drop your blend file into the textbox that shows for new posts or actively editing posts.
Note: If your blend file is too large you’ll need to upload at some other external hosting site such as Google Drive, Dropbox or Media Fire, and then manually copy their download link in this thread.
Glad I could help! If you feel my post helped solve your problem please consider marking my post as the thread solution to help alert others that your problem has been solved:
