E.g. C4D R11 [Can Blender Do This?]

yes, select faces and extrude among normals. ALT+e

Thanks, Kavilp, very helpful. :grinning: :+1: Extrude Faces is more what I was trying to do. But I would have to extrude/rotate/scale many times to get the obj in the video. It would be great if there was a Blender addon that has the same options as Matrix Extrude in C4D. I’ll ask for one in Add…

oh you know wthat you can do, take your circle or sphere and delete all the faces except one certain group of faces…do the modeling . and than select the whole thing , use spin tool…and select the other option and do it…however do not mess the origin point atleast i would have done that way.

You can also use the array modifier.

@Kavilp “…and select the other option and do it.” Sorry, not sure what you mean “the other option”. Can you please do it & post a screenshot or the blend? BTW, I haven’t tried the Spin Tool yet, but that’s very cool, and will have to play with it. :smiley: :+1: This is what I’ve done so far… …

Array Modifier is very limited, and doesn’t have rotate & scale. =(

It has rotation and size via “object offset”. Play with first Empty you can rotate and size the “tentacles”. array_stack_rotate_size.blend (647.6 KB) More modifiers, more fun :smiley: array_stack_rotate_size_funny.blend (652.1 KB)

[image] anon19162634: Array Modifier is very limited, and doesn’t have rotate & scale. =( Yes, it does both.

Can you show me, please? I don’t see the rotate/scale options in the modifier options…only offset. [Array] Looks like you can rotate/scale if you add an empty, but there are no options I can see in the Array Modifier to do this directly on the obj. (?) E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zyt…

Yes, use an empty as an offset object. Any scale rotation or position change you make in the empty will be reflected on your modifier.

Can Blender Loop Select and/or Matrix Extrude?

Support Modeling
