Componant array on curved face

cjlopez4 · 17 Oct 2011, 13:19

See attached image, is there a plugin out there that will create an array of a component on a curved face?

Thanks

PathCopy:

you will need to weld the path into a single polyline first.

Component Stringer (can do much more):

Those didn't quite do the trick, they copied along the path, but did not rotate the objects.

Well, Component Stringer should keep the components to "stick" to the edges so indeed it should rotate them. Watch that video when Chris demonstrates it. You may need to change the component axes however.

I was able to work it, the first time I tried to array a closed loop and not an extruded component, thanks again for the help.

Components onto faces by Chris fullmer?

Also shapebender would work well there, though it would tend to actually warp the component, which I guess might not be desireable.
