I will test out your explanation on simple elements first @spikeyxxx and play around with just an object and it’s curve modifier until I can wrap my head around it better. I think I am understanding a little more of your explanation but I am feeling like I need to read a little, then do what you say to see the result, then rinse and repeat.
To add to the complexity I will add the array after I understand this better.
Isn’t it funny how you can make something that looks decent and acts fairly decent without really understanding how it works on an intimate level and just pushing buttons until it looks how you imagined it should?!? haha, yup that is the blender story of my life. It’s time for me to demistify the curve mod once and for all. It’s time to read the manual too. I’ll post back with my findings. And maybe even a nice video again!
