How would you create a dashed circle in blender with an empty circle object? I want something that looks sort of like this:  Related:

We know that the there is an Object Offset option for Array modifier, but when trying to make a circular array with that offset object as the center of the array circle, it always doesn't behave quite like what's expected. So how to make a nice and controllable circular array?  P.S.: There is an old  about moving the object's origin. I wonder if there is any way to do this without changing the location of the origin. :)

I am brand new to blender and trying to make something and I want to add a circle curve so I pressed shift+a to add it but the popup menu only lets me add meshes. If anyone could help me I would be so happy :)

How can I make a  have sharp and curved points? Like a zig-zag. And also being able to make more 'circular' parts too.  (I want to make fig 2, but I can only get to 1 by creating curves added with the E button.)

I am trying to create a brush that allows for seamless alpha textures that can be drawn curved. The result should be similar to what is found in .  This is what I am currently getting.    Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks for your time!

I'm trying to fade an object's regular solid surface into its wireframe.  I've got as far as duplicating the object and deleting vertices until I'm left with an area of overlap.    Is it possible to render this in such a way that there is a smooth transition at the area of overlap? Maybe there is a better way to achieve this effect?  Another example:

Basically I have been using the Pen Tool to create cloud shapes similar to the image below. I feel it can be a bit time consuming. Isn't there any way I can increase my workflow of making such shapes using another approach or a plugin (not too expensive)?

Coming from SketchUp one of the tools I miss most is the circle draw tool which lets you draw a circle on any face and then you could extrude it in/out. The only tool that I know of that comes close to this is the knife tool but this would be very impractical to cut out with the knife  Example:    Is there any tool in blender that can match this function? also how could you do this with squares?

I was wondering how I could create this effect in blender for an animation:      How can I make this bloom effect?

I know how to make it manually with cone rotation around the sphere. but maybe there's much simpler solution or addon that has that option, preferably not very high poly solution.  Also if possible I would like the spikes not to be very pointy if that makes any sense      Thanks

First time asking a question here, and I'm really new to Blender. Hopefully you'll forgive me for asking really dumb questions.  So I want to do a neat little "beginner project" animation that involves unravelling a double helix. The issue is, how can I create a double helix mesh? Using edit mode? Or some modifier that I'm not aware of? And if so, how can I "un-twirl" it?  Any help is much appreciated!

I have a sword that currently rotates around a pivot point thats off of the actual object. Im new to blender and im not sure how i would go about changing it so that the sword rotates around the handle. Any help would be appreciated!

This may be a simple question.  Essentially I am procedurally generating random 3D figures using a bezier curve and bezier circle bevel object, however, one of the only things I can't figure out how to do is how to round the end caps of the object.   I have tried using a taper object like suggested  but have had only limited success.  This is about as close as I've gotten:   I should note that all of this is done through Python and I'm not modeling any of this by hand. So any suggestions for how I can make the rounded caps programmatically would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to recreate the line swirl in our compliment slip in Adobe Illustrator? I have been struggling for hours with transforming straight lines, creating waves, rotating, etc. but still can't get there?     If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!  Anne

I have the following figure in which I need to make a fillet to each its corners:   Is there some tool to avoid doing this manually? I tried the Effect > Stylize > Round Corners tool but it apply the roundness also to the circles. I'm using the CS6 version of Adobe Illustrator.

I am a noob with blender. Please be as specific as possible. College students have been doing this for me, but I am unable to understand them.

How can I create an  using python? I'd like to create one for each selected object and then all empties should be parented or constraint to the selected objects, meaning that the rotation and position should be copied over as well. I tried something along these lines but I can't get it to work properly: import bpy  for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:     bpy.ops.object.empty_add()  Q: How to create an empty per object in selection?

I am currently working on converting my logo vectored as a SVG to a 3D model using the 2.72 version. I ran into a problem with my logo because it contains a black stroke and an orange stroke (see both images below), but currently all I have is the interior color of each shape. I was wondering whether or not there was a simple way to add in these strokes, and how exactly to go about creating the strokes. Thank you in advance community!
