To do so, you will need 2 modifiers: an Array modifier, then a Curve modifier.įor the array modifier, add a few shapes in the “Count” setting and choose your axis according to the direction you want Now you can rotate the whole curve to align it with your main shape I repeat => Select all vertices in edit mode, type “s”, then “z”, then “0”. But if you need it to be a on single plane, you can go in edit mode, select all the vertices, the use the scale (“s” shortcut) along the axis you want (i.e the Z axis if you want the shape to be flat on the main plane) and then choose 0. IF your path was supposed to be that way it’s cool. It’s very possible that as you were moving vertices around, you didn’t stay in the same plane and if you rotate your view you will see something like that: Getting out of edit mode you will have a nice view of the pathīut here is one catch. You can also find this action in the menu Control Points If the path needs to be a loop, you can close it by selecting the two open ends and hitting the “F” to make the final segment. Extrude the vertices (using the “e” shortcut after selecting a vertice) to create the path you would like to achieve You will see that the curve has 2 vertices (at each extremity) and you have the ability to modify the shape of the curve by playing around with the red lines. Select it if not already selected, and go in Edit mode by hitting the “tab” key. This will add a basic curve on the main plane Let’s first create a basic shape, whichever you like: Let’s look at the first case, which is when the object deforms itself.ġ – Repeating along a path with deformation This choices changes the settings you need. For a roller coster, you will likely deform the shape, for a chain ring, you won’t. First it’s important to realize that there is one contraint to think about: Should the object deform itself along the path, or should the object remain in its original shape but just rotate along the curves of the path.
Let’s see how this can be achieved with Blender. You’d like to do a chain for a drivetrain, or you’d want to do a roller coaster or something that repeats the same object or shape along a defined path. Mine had a Field of view of 11 degree,Īnd putting it at 60.6 framed it exactly as I wanted That’s an easy fix, just go to the Camera panel and adjust it the value you that works best. In my example above here is what happened: If you like a specific view, hit the keys: Control – ALT – Numpad 0Ī main Camera is moved and adjusted to the right position. Well! It’s possible and it’s actually very easy. The thing is something I feel really good about a certain view position in the viewport and it would be great if I could align the camera exactly to that view. I’m not sure why (maybe that’s possible but I don’t know how), I can not do a render of what I’m seeing in the viewport. Flying around your scene, zooming in and out but the view you render is the Camera view.

If you use blender you probably know how to move around the viewport with your mouse. So you may want to revert to an another material to render the light if it is OFF. One thing that you have to pay attention to in case you need to have 2 states: One ON and one OFF is that a 0 value for Strength will make the material black. The following render is with a low value. Just play with the number to get what you’d like the effect to be. Only thing left is to adjust the Strength. See below for some examples of indoor colors (image from HyperIkon and I added the HEX value) Then set the color of the light right below.
By default you are going to get a Principled BSDF The center of the light is just a circle that I can apply texture to that is different from the casing.Ĭlick the Material Property Tab in the property panel for the center circle and add a material.
I have this scene with a recessed LED light. One way to do it is to use an “Emission” texture. Blender offers a few different light types like spot, sun, point, but you don’t have to use “lights” to light a place or have some object glow.
