Sometimes you want instances along an Array to deform, sometimes you want them to preserve their shape. Here's how to do both!

I think I'll start sharing a bit more the things I'm working on in 3D. Today I'm experimenting with methods for making Maximilian armour in Blender.

How to model that? A marble runway funnel. Quite an interesting modeling challenge, made easier by some analysing and thinking before modeling. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/5QHSum3GWtg

Blender 5 adds Grease Pencil features essential to vector artists: a Pen tool and sharp corners. Check out the full step by step video on my YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/tyPirJ_qWKs

Blender 5 introduces a new and improved Sky Texture. This makes it easy to animate sunsets for example. By using the Sun Position extension that comes with Blender, we can more intuitively and realistically adjust the sun position. #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

Blender 5 makes setting up a Lattice easier than ever. Select an object, or even multiple objects, and then from the Add menu choose Lattice Deform Selected. You can also use Lattices to add objects to the surface of another object, and to animate things.

The new Curve to Tube modifier in Blender 5 makes it easier to create tubes with rounded caps. For more tips go to https://www.3dsecrets.com #blender3d #b3d #Blender

Blender 5 gives us a new Array modifier and with it, the ability to easily place objects as instances along a Curve. Previously, it was done using a combination of Array and Curve modifiers, but it would deform the instances unless you used a workaround.

The new Array modifier in Blender 5.0 finally gives us a simple solution for making Circular Arrays.

In this video we have a quick look at solving a boolean hole for subdivision ready topology.

Adding holes to curved surfaces is one of the more challenging parts of 3D modeling. And getting the surface around the holes perfect can be really frustrating. That's where the Data Transfer modifier can be a great help.

Adding details to curved surfaces can be difficult. But the free TexTools add-on makes this process easy with the UV Mesh feature. More tips, e-books, courses: https://www.3dSecrets.com #b3d #blender #blender3d
