This has always been the way for me, but i'll have to test out this geo nodes way too for science, ty for the tips~ ^^

This give a slightly different result, as the curve modifier bends the geometry, while instancing on points with geonodes doesn't

Wish I knew how to Geometry Nodes

You learned 3 nodes by watching this 49-seconds video. That's a start 😉

Oh that's how it's done!! I always tried to use array modifiers but I couldn't figure out how to make them actually follow the curves. Thanks!!!

Did you know that in Blender you can easily bend objects in edit mode by pressing Shift+W? ✨ 1. Select the geometry to bend from 2. Press Shift+S,2 to place the 3d cursor there 3. Select the geometry to bend 4. Press Shift+W to bend! Important: when you're pressing Shift+W, hover your mouse over the geo you're trying to bend, like shown in the video! Bonus: by placing the 3d cursor slightly off center and holding ALT (to disable clamping) while bending, you can easily create spirals! #b3d

Did you know that in Blender you can instance entire collections of objects? ✨ 1. Select your objects 2. Press M to put them in a new collection 3. Press Shift+A and find your collection at the bottom of the menu. Changes made to the original collection will be reflected in all of the instanced ones! 4. Select your instanced collections and press M to put them in another collection. You can compose your instanced collections into hierarchies of any complexity! #b3d

Did you know that in Blender you can easily make insets with the 'Intersect Knife' operator? ✨ 1. Select the geometry you want to cut out 2. Press Ctrl+F,K 3. Remove the original geometry and select the newly cut faces 4. Press Ctrl+F,F to extrude along normals Important: when you're extruding faces along normals, be sure to also press S after you press Ctrl+F,F to enable the "Even Thickness" option for a better result! So the full shortcut is Ctrl+F,F,S (yes, really) #b3d

Did you know that in Blender you can easily make pillows with the 'Cloth' modifier? ✨ 1. Select the object that's gonna be beneath your pillow 2. Press 'Collision' on the physics tab 3. Add a cube and add some loops to it with Ctrl+R 4. Press 'Cloth' on the physics tab 5. Enable 'Pressure' and set the custom target volume to 1. You can tweak this value depending on how big your pillow is 6. Decrease the collision distance in 'Object Collisions' 7. Press space to play the animation 8. Press Ctrl+3 to add a subdiv modifier with 3 levels to make it look smoother! You can choose a frame that you like and apply the 'Cloth' modifier to make it into a static mesh by going to the Modifiers tab, hovering over the 'Cloth' Modifier and pressing Ctrl+A! For better results add more loops to your original mesh! ✨ #b3d

sure does. very easy set up in blender, literally took like a minute. set Array modifier to 'Constant Offset'. Set the fit type to 'Fit Curve' - this makes sure that when you adjust the curve it doesn't shift the start or end. Add curve modifier, select your bezier.

Did you know that in Blender you can easily boolean in edit mode without any modifiers? ✨ 1. Select the geometry you want to cut out 2. Press Ctrl+F,R 3. ??? 4. Profit! Important: Make sure you don't have any coplanar faces when you boolean, always pre-scale things a little bit to make sure the geometry you want to cut out sticks out of geometry you want to cut out FROM. Not even the new "Exact" solver can handle coplanar faces #b3d

Did you know that in Blender you can easily make the rotation of one object drive the rotation of another? ✨ 1. Select your object 2. Hover over one of its rotation fields and press CTRL+D 3. In the popup select the rotation of another object 4. You can write "smoothstep(0, tau, var) * 2" to both limit the rotation and make it non-linear. Tau is 180 degrees, and it's the end angle for the wheel, and 2 is the end angle for the gate leaf in radians (3 is approx. 180, so 2 is approx 2/3 of that!) 5. To copy the animation to the second leaf, select both, press CTRL+L, and choose 'Link Animation Data'. To invert the angle, add a minus sign, and you're done! 👌 #b3d

Sharing this Godot quick tip for the new people trying to figure out how to mess with the game while it's running! ✨ (Thanks to Daniel Queiroz Porto and and Ian Williams for pointing this out) 1. Go to the Project Settings 2. Click "Advanced Settings" 3. In "Window" highlight "Always on Top" and create a new editor override for it by choosing "editor" from the list and clicking "Add" 4. Enable the new override you just added 5. Now when you run the scene (Ctrl+R) the window will always stay on top! 6. Press the Camera icon on top of the viewport to sync your editor camera to the game camera 7. Click on the "Remote" tab of the Scene panel. All of the changes you make to these objects will sync with your game in real time! Bonus Tip: You can make it switch to the "Remote" tab by default when you run the game if you go to Editor Settings (Ctrl+Comma) -> Network -> Debugger and click "Auto Switch to Remote Scene Tree"! #godottips

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. #Blender #b3d #Blender3d

📚 While it's hot, did you know you can use the Blend Normals by Proximity asset (in Bforartists) to also potentially blend shaders? I really think the Set Mesh Normal node in Geometry Nodes is.. a "normal" revolution!

In blender, the NURBS curve object might look strange at first, but you just have to keep in mind that you need to extrude a point beyond where you want the curve to end.
