Simply the best tutorial for creating a radial array.

[@ammokha]

Damn, it's the tutorial which i've been looking for for a year, thank you so much!

[@slocumdesigngroupllc.4477]

Thank you! Went through several circular array videos with frustration. Yours explained it the best.

[@piranha-art5936]

Thanks. I watched other videos repeatedly, this is the only one that works for me.

[@mark8664]

This might be the answer to the problem that I have been experiencing! That whole thing about editing in the edit mode is the way to go.

[@tillholder2400]

A simple radial array should definitely not require this many steps though. Other softwares do it in two clicks, I don't understand how Blender's been ignoring this feature so far.

[@ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvaw4ehr]

yeah I feel like it should be able to do it around it's own centerpoints, rather than having to do it around another objects

[@Eradifyerao]

Very helpful - this technique has caused me *so* much frustration...

[@pinetreeYT]

Thanks, man

[@sabatheus]

Setting the origin point for the original primitive is the secret sauce. I was getting so frustrated, I wanted to punch a baby.
Also, be sure to apply any rotations (set to 0, 0, 0) to your geometry before you attempt to apply the array, or the result is confusing.

[@leatherandpoemscharmyman5774]

if is it possible within the use of a empty? for example I would like to create a medieval bucket to export for Ue4 for example in Fbx format but I would like not to include the "empty" ...I might think I should deleate the empty and Iapplyed the array first.

[@jenovaizquierdo]

Rheifuss Stripxssons if you don't want the empty anymore you need to apply the Array modifier and then delete the empty.

[@NatesPlayzGamez]

thanks buddy :)

[@ejercitodelinces4477]

damn it i can't do that, when i set it all solids appear one by one in stright line, what is wrong?, using 2.8

[@PIXXO3D]

You have to use the rotation of the empty as a offset object.

[@GALAXYHUNTER]

Deforming geometry without instancing is ridiculous, try to combine few object parrented and arrayed. It is mess.

[@thatonethattalksalot7656]

Okay I can't rotate empty at all

[@DiHandUkr]

Simple and Fast - nice. Thx

[@SoftBreadSoft]

I was thinking about looking up a tutorial for this and it was just there in my recommendations when I get on youtube. Well, thanks youtube demon.

[@GALAXYHUNTER]

What if I want to rotate the object later on around the axis of the one?

[@solvetheunsolvable731]

Damn shit, the secret is don't forget to apply transformation you already did, CTRL + A, but works fine

[@szekerespista3758]

Thank you very much!

[@FredLarsonK1FL]

Thanks! Excellent job of explaining this. I’ve watched others that just confused me.

[@caveracod3460]

here in 2019 to say: thank you, awsome vídeo

[@3anb972]

Still useful in 2019, thx! It's ridiculous that circular array functionality is not in the Blender's array modifier by default.

[@icanmakemusic362]

remember to make sure that the transform data for both the empty and the object are the same! Or else you'll get weird scaling/rotation/other weird transformations on the array.

[@tcheadriano]

Cool!!! Thanks!!

[@ghostriley22]

Nice and comprehensive tutorial..

[@jenovaizquierdo]

Really helpful. This help with some issue I was getting.
