Multiply object around another object
I’m not really sure how to word this (which made it difficult for searching) but I’m guessing it’s pretty straight forward.
I have two requests. I think 1 is simpler than the other:
Simple:
I have an extruded chevron shape that I want to multiply and arrange around a circle.

I have an extruded chevron shape that I want to multiply and arrange around a torus AND take on the rounded nature of the torus.
Screen Shot: https://grab.by/4ZyuI’m guessing this would require mograph in some way?
Any input or push in the right direction would be very helpful/greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You don’t necessarily need MoGraph for the circle. You could use an Array Object or Function>Arrange. But MoGraph does provide many more options.
The second example is a bit trickier. MoGraph has a spline wrap object that let’s you deform an object along a spline, but it doesn’t deform along a surface. But if you want to use the torus (and it wasn’t just a convenient example), you could a Wrap Deformer in spherical mode to deform the chevrons (however you choose to array them).
