How to Array an Object Along a Curve in Blender

When working in Blender, you may find yourself needing to create complex designs that require an object to follow a specific path or curve. This can be particularly useful for projects like creating railings, roads, or decorative elements that need to maintain a consistent shape along a predefined trajectory. However, manually positioning each instance of the object can be time-consuming and tedious.

Fortunately, Blender offers a powerful solution through the combination of the Array Modifier and the Curve Modifier. This technique allows you to easily replicate an object along a curve, saving you time and ensuring precision in your designs. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to effectively array an object along a curve, enabling you to enhance your modeling workflow and achieve stunning results with minimal effort.
