hey everyone welcome back to my channel

i'm ask amber and today i'm going to

show you how to make jewelry and

accessories and all sorts of things

using shapes and curves and just a

couple modifiers

it only takes a couple minutes and it

makes really cool stuff

so let's get started the first step is

to add a curve

specifically a circle curve in this

instance and then i'm going to add a uv

sphere on top of it

and i'm going to just shrink that sphere

down because this is the shape that we

are going to put along this circle

then with the sphere selected i'm going

to add a modifier

specifically an array modifier i'm going

to use this modifier to create more than

one

that kind of line up all in a row and

then i'm going to add a second modifier

called a curve modifier

i'm going to scroll down and select the

object of the curve

as that circle curve that we made before

and as you can see it applies all of

these spheres to

that curve that i selected now i can add

more on my array modifier until it makes

it all the way to the center

i can also go back to my sphere and i

can adjust the size of it so that it

fits perfectly within that circle

i can adjust it larger smaller i can add

more i can add less

and i can really customize this to be

however i want it to be

something i had to learn the hard way

early on is that you want to keep the

origin of your sphere or object the same

as your curve so if you move your sphere

or object away from the origin of the

curve it's going to warp and look really

really bad

so make sure that when you move the two

you move them together so that they keep

the same origin

and they don't warp in any way

once you're ready you can actually

select the curve and tab

into edit mode and then you can use the

points that are there for you in edit

mode you can either subdivide them

you can move them scale them rotate them

anything you want

for example if you're trying to make a

necklace you can move this so that it

fits

exactly the neck of your avatar and

it'll fit perfectly with all

of the shapes that you created following

that curve and going right along with it

then you can go back to your sphere or

your shape and you can add more to your

array and scale it up and down

so you can have the perfect size of your

shape along your curve i'm going to make

another one this time with a jewel and i

use

this jewelcraft plugin which is

absolutely easy to use

and amazing i highly recommend

downloading it the link will be in the

description below

all you have to do once it's installed

is just go to the add gems section

in your toolbar and just pick one of

them i'm going to use this cute little

heart gem right here

and then just click ok and it adds it to

your project for you

it's so easy to use and you can get all

different kinds of gems it's really

fantastic

so what i'm going to do is use this gem

the same way i used my sphere

except i'm going to rotate this first so

that it is facing the right way because

i want it to face

out so i'm just going to go ahead and

rotate this really quick

once that's rotated i'm going to go to

object apply and apply all

transformations so that this is its new

original state

and then i'm going to go ahead and add

in my curve then i'm going to select my

diamond

add a modifier which is the array

modifier so i have more than one

and i'm going to go ahead and add in my

curve

modifier as well then i'm going to

select the object of the curve as being

that bezier circle i just made

and oops i can see that i put those

diamonds on the wrong way

so i'm just going to select the diamonds

and click r to rotate

on the z axis at 180 degrees and there

you go they're facing forward now

now i can add more to the array change

the size of them

and get them all perfectly lined up but

let's say i want to add little beads in

between and not just have one singular

object

that is super easy to do i'm just going

to go ahead and take off this

curve modifier and the array modifier

and i'm just going to work

on the individual object right here what

i'm going to do

is add a sphere shape because i want to

put little balls in between

each heart so i'm just going to add the

sphere i'm going to size it down

to exactly the size that i want it to be

i'm going to put it on just one side

not both sides unless you want to one

side of the heart

and then i'm going to join these two

pieces together

so that they are one individual piece

with the origin set to the very center

then i'm going to do the same process as

before i'm going to add an array

modifier and then i'm also going to add

a curve modifier

i'm going to select the object of the

curve as the circle that i created

before

and then i can add extra items to my

array and it'll line up

exactly the same way i did before except

for it'll include the sphere

now you can literally use any shape you

want in my ever levine video i made a

full

choker out of safety pins that i built

you can literally do any kind of jewelry

any kind of accessories

so many options are available to you

with this technique you can use any

shape and put it along a curve

i've even made pasties with this so you

really can do

anything you want the last step is just

to apply both of your modifiers and

delete that initial curve so that all

you have left

is the mesh the fbx file for this

bracelet will be available on my patreon

if you're interested

thank you so much for watching this

video and i hope to see it in the next
