This may be a very simple question, but I'm using 3DSMAX and want to create a circular array, several rows deep and with each object in each successivelyrow evenly spaced. I can create a circular array several rows deep (see image), but with each row the gap between the objects gets larger. I want this gap to be the same…
Just copy objects in a row then group them, then adjust groups pivot point to its side and again copy-rotate the whole group to get circular array. Ungroup and voila.
Oh, so each following row would increase by 1 object (probably)? assuming we start off the array at 0 then adding 1 to the following row and so on and so forth....?
One way I have just thought of (I can't test my theory until I get home), is to create a cylinder, say 10cm wide at 0 0. Then make a copy with a 10cm gap between them. Then make an array of the second cylinder with a 10cm gap between each. Hopefully using the cylinder at the origin will have given the correct spacing for…
Yeah thats right. The increase in number would depend on the size of gap I guess. The only ways I can think are to either eyeball it, or make a new array for each row and increase the count until it looks like the same gap between the objects. I'm sure there must be a better more accurate way to do it though.
