Welcome back to the channel, and today I just have a really quick beginner tutorial. I'm going to show you how to

take any object in Blender and then, just using the array modifier, you can select any object you want and then use

that object as an offset. The really cool thing about this is it allows you to not only make a nice circular array, but you

can also move the object that's offsetting things, and then rotate and move that, and you can get all of these

sort of cool effects and shapes that you can make. So this is going to be really handy if you're a beginner in Blender.

You're going to enjoy this quick and simple tutorial on how to do a circular array in Blender 4.3. So let's

demonstrate this with the default cube. So I'm going to go ahead and select the default cube, and we want the origin

point—that little orange dot you see in the middle—we want that to remain in the world center. So what we

will do is we'll tab into edit mode, and inside of edit mode, with all of the topology active, you're just going to go

G, and you can move it in any direction, but I'm going to just go GX and move it over on the X axis a little bit.

So in the front view, it's kind of off to the side like this. So then, if we tab back

out into object mode, you can see now if you were to rotate that, it now rotates around the origin point still, which is

remaining in the center, but our mesh is off to the side. So now we can create any object we want as the offset object.

I recommend you go Shift+A and then just go over to your empty options and add in a cube. This won't render, but you'll

still be able to see it in the viewport display, which makes it really handy. So now what we need to do is we need to select

The object that we want to add the circular array to, we want to go over to our modifiers and go to 'Add Modifier'.

Click on 'Search' and then type in 'Array'. Click on the 'Array' modifier. By default, we have all of

these factors that we can mess around with, but what we're going to do is make sure all of these are set

to zero. We're not going to be relying on them, but rather we're going to come over here to 'Object Offset' and tick

that. Come to the dropdown, and then we just need to click on this little eyedropper, and then we can come over here

and select our offset object, which is our empty over here. So what we can do now is we can actually select this empty,

and we can go 'R' and 'Z' and rotate it on the Z-axis. I'm just going to rotate it a little

bit like this. And now you can see we have this offset. So all we have to do is just select our cube, go over here to our

count, and give it a number. So I'm going to go maybe like 12, and now you can see

we have it arraying around. So in this case, it's rotated too much. I'll decrease the amount here, so now I've got nine

cubes. Now I'm going to show you a really cool trick here. If you want a very specific amount of cubes to be perfectly

arrayed, or any object for that matter, all you have to do is choose your count. So in this case, I'm going to say I want

12, and then all you have to do is get your calculator and go 360—that's how many

degrees are in a circle—and then click on 'divide', and then just divide it by whatever number you have here. So in this

case, I'm going to go 12, and that equals 30. So all you'd have to do then is

Select your offset object, press N to bring up its properties, go to your item, and then over here, under your

rotations, I'm going to make this Z rotation 30. And now

these twelve here are precisely aligned around a circle. Now, the really cool thing is I can tab into Edit mode and I

can grab my original cube here, and I can come in here and make edits to it, and that'll all update around this in a

circular way, which is really kind of cool and very powerful. Now, that's just how to make a perfect circular

array. The cool thing here is that you can now select your empty, and you can always press G to move it. By

doing that, you can create really cool effects, like you can see over here—really cool objects and shapes, kind of

like these cool-looking fractals. And then you can also rotate your empty to do kind of the same thing, and you

can get all sorts of really cool effects by using the offset in that way. So I really hope you guys enjoyed this

little introduction—a beginner's guide to using the circular array or the object offset here. Um, I'm sure this will

come in handy with some of your projects, and I'll see you guys next time. Thank you for watching.
