If i make an array of 10 cilinders and distribute them along any curve - will blender be able to twist this array spreaded out along curve?
When i set up a modifier “simple deformation” to the array that is aligned along curve and try to twist the array using the curve as a axis then the array jump off the curve and begin crookedly twist regardless of the curve
You could either edit the points of the curve with Ctrl+t or use for example an empty as an offset for the array modifier.
For that you just have to move and rotate the empty.
If edit mode of the curve and i press Ctrl + T - then i get just simple rotation of all array using the curve as a axis but this is not twisting
When i created an empty - yes i point out to object offset in array modofier to this empty but when i rotated empty in edit or object mode then i got nothing
You have to either select the start or the end point of the curve, otherwise it will just rotate the whole curve. .
But this will only rotate each cube along the curve, not actually twisting the geometry.
I’ll have a look at it once I’m home in about an hour, maybe some one else can solve it until then
Thanks, - it works for me too
It’s bad that there is no possibility to get the same result using simply deform modifier that was intended to do it judjing by the name of this modifier
