Full Version: Copy/Array in 3d?

Of all the hundreds of scripts available i justknow one of them can do this:

Array an object in any specified number around an axis (in 3d) rather than around a point (in 2d) - so the same as Circular Array but in 3d.

I know it's an easy thing to simply Array around a point and then move the results to where they're needed - but this is a function I use fairly often & it'd be nice to miss out that last step ;)

Please someone point out the obvious answer - I've had the 'flu & my brain is on downtime.....

Draw your curve
And use Transform / Array Curve! ;)

here a tapered helix, but you can take any sort of curve (s)! :)

Hi Raven, you can make the circular array oriented to a 3D axis by using View > CPlane to set the construction plane before doing the circular array.

When you set the construction plane all 2D drawing tools including array circular will be done in that orientation.

When you're done working in that area you can right click on View > CPlane to reset it back to the world axes.

Awesome - yep that worked fine & dandy.
I knew it was staring me in the face ;)

BTW Pilou - in which software can you replace the incidence of basic solids with (in this case) frogs? Was this an AI?

@Raven
Of course yes! Ai can make all today! ;)
You send the image of the Moi's screen with the boxes!

And a second image of anything (even a Moi's Object again) !

And prompt something like "Replace the boxes of the first image by the object of the the second image"

in any environnement you want! (can be a third image)

If i remember i have just prompted with just one image
"Replace each boxes by a frog in a luxurious vegetation"

My favorite free Ai is gemini : https://gemini.google.com/app

And my second free Ai is Vizcom https://vizcom.com/ for anything after! (not used above)

Make avariations are a game's boy!

All from zero inside MOi to the final image takes me less one minute!

What do you want more!

The longest part is turning on my old laptop. It goes to 15 years old!
So 10 minutes to start! :)


Have fun!
Ps and the more cool : you can speak in your native language!

Last scoop : i found how to use Ai for make some NodeEditor Plus projects inside Moi3D!
Nothing to install like MCP (on tother thead) except NodeEditor Plus / Elephant! ;)
So anybody can make parametric modeling without headache! :)

---

Prompt Gemini, et voilà le travail ;)

Still need to get my head around Elephant & NodeEditor - I'm sure there's a tutorial somewhere that explains it all with crayons and little words :)

---

@ Raven
Elephant and / or more NodeEditor Plus (same familly & more powerful) and free Ai... (Gemini for me because you have not 5 hours to wait like Claude when you overpass times! :)

Yes look at this thread! https://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11614.121#a11614_121

And you are lucky it's just the (new) start! ;)
