Curve Modifier Weld Start and End

So i want my start and end to be welded like the rest of the geometry to create a full chain.

The start and end points of the curve modifier are merged into one but it isnt showing. What am i doing wrong here ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello @Rachquiat

I’m not completely certain why you’re having trouble here. I created a brush very similar to yours and am not having this difficulty.

curve

Assuming the screenshot is showing me the correct brush settings, there are probably 3 different ways it might be going wrong:

  1. The way the brush is constructed. Make sure the end caps are open, and you might consider making the repeating shape a single row of squares rather than the full block of 4 squares. This would make your stroke more flexible and less blocky, giving the shapes more flexibility to connect to each other.
  1. The curve stroke isn’t actually connected to itself. Be sure that the ends are connected, and not simply near each other.

  2. The curve may be too coarse, without enough points. Try a smaller brush size when drawing out the curve, or reduce the curve step slightly in the Stroke menu.

  3. Other things to try:

  • Increase the Curve Resolution in the Brush Modifiers menu
    *Increase the Max Bend angle in the Brush Modifiers menu

Thank you for your reply!

i will try this out later !
