• Start by making an object that you would like to see duplicated and following a curve, in Jonathan’s case, this was a chainlink. Not even a full chain link, only 1/4th of one which he used a mirror modifier to turn into a full link.

• Next step, create a curve, and curve will do, shape it as desired. I like beizer curves.

• Go back to your mesh object and add an array modifer. Under the drop down box “Fit Type” Select “Fit Curve” essentially telling Blender that you want to Duplicate your object along. By default it will duplicate your object in the positive X Axis. There should not be much adjusting from here. Now try moving the curve in the curve’s edit mode. You will see that your mesh gets longer or shorter based on the length of your curve!

• Now we just need the mesh to follow the shape of the curve. To do this, add a Curve modifier, select your curve, positive X should be selected and voila!

Jonathan used an empty to control the offset of each piece, under the Array modifier, you can add an offset object, this is useful for controlling the roll of the duplicate objects, like in the chain, each piece needs to be twisted for it to work. Although this is very easy, sometimes it’s easier to see it in action, if anyone wants, I’ll create a vid tutorial.

Sorry for my bad english:)
