Create 90° curve in blender :S

[Florenzius]

Hey,

sorry, that I have to ask you again about custom objects and I hope it's no problem ^^

I want to make a curve with my road-objects. 90°. So I create a BezierCurve or a Path (same effect) and try to get them in a 90° format. But I never get a real 90° curve like 1/4 of a circle. If I duplicate my result 3 times and then make it to a circle, it's no real circle... :S

My "90°"-Curve looks like this in the Object-Mode:

and like this in the edit mode:

:S

I hope you can help me

Thanks

I haven't created objects with Blender so far. But I would insert a basic circle and remove the edges I don't need.

If I already have a finished straight road object, I would first look for a possibility to deform the mesh to a curve instead of creating the object from scratch.

Hey,

thanks for your quick answer

Okay, I think it isn't possible to delete the parts of a circle, which i don't need, because the circle has one side and I can't subdivide it to get 4 parts (but hm... I can test it ^^). It's hard to deform my mesh without a curve, because I have around 4000 vertices and I dunno, how to deform it. I can test the thing with the circle

Thanks so far

Maybe this video might help you?

Hey,

I am sorry, but I tried it and it doesn't work :/

But thanks for your help

Why don't you first place a circle, where the radius matches the grid,
create your part of the curve and align it on the circle,
and finally remove the circle?

You have to think like you were drawing circles on squared paper!

It's one of the most basic thing in Blender, if you don"t know how to do it, i strongly suggest you to watch some blender basics tutorials on youtube.

For simple things like 90° curves, don't use bezier or path, just use circle or spin tool.

Hey,

Thanks for your answers @TMarc and @Tipiizor

Yes, the problem is already solved Thanks to xrayjay, who helped me via discord. Yes, I have to use the spin tool. But of course I can make a curve with a circle as help too. But I think the most important problem at curves is the lenght of your object. Because you never know the exactly lenght of the curve (it's hard to find out) and the object (in my project) has to bee as long as the curve

Thanks is has been solved )

It´s all about mathematic and geometry, you can calculate every curve exactly before modeling. May one day when you are a bit older you will learn this geometry stuff in school or you educate yourself about this

You just have to think in grid patterns and transform this into blender or vice versa, once you got it, it´s ez.

Good to see you have succeeded finally
