I'd like to know if it's possible to duplicate an object along a curve so that it follows the curve but only rotate on one axis (Z axis), and not on the X or Y axes. First picture is the result I want, second picture is the result I get with an Array + Curve Modifier. Dupliframes doesn't give any good result either. Thanks in advance!

EDIT : solution found with a Dupliframes, then a Constraint > Limit Rotation for my object... Thanks everyone

    Add your blend file to the question via http://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/. That way people don't have to guess at how you've set up things, and can give you an answer that you can actually use. – dr. Sybren Jan 11 '18 at 09:35

    Thanks dr Sybren. Ok I've found a solution, I use Dupliframes, then I use a Constraint > Limit Rotation for my object, and I click on Limit X and Limit Y. Thanks everyone! – moonboots Jan 11 '18 at 10:36

    Please write this as an answer, ideally with a screenshot of the setup, so that others can easily find your solution as well. It's the least you can do for the community after asking for help ;-) – dr. Sybren Jan 11 '18 at 16:42

Until 2.79: I use Dupliframes, then I use a Constraint > Limit Rotation for my object, and I click on Limit X and Limit Y.

Since 2.8: See Gorgious solution here.

  • can you add more detail to this question/answer? Now the question has a broken link, it would be helpful to have more information so that other users can learn. – susu Jan 19 '21 at 21:35
  • sure, that's what I was planning to do, now the method has changed, plus there are the geometry nodes, I'll do it soon – moonboots Jan 19 '21 at 21:46
