Question Noob Question: Working with text

Hi All,

Finally got AC3D working and would like to create a logo.

What I would like is to bend text around a circle or create a curved text . So far, I've not found a solution in the forum.

To be honest with you all, I am not a graphic artist, but would like to learn working with 3D graphics.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry - no easy answer for this- other than rotating each letter so that it fits around a curve.

Hi I am new, but solved this problem like this:

Draw a circle , and lock it. Now create a desired name with a dash between all letters. make each letter an object and place it on the circle at 90 dgrees or desired. In that way you can shift each letter. It is also usefull to have some alfabets that you can import to sellect the letters you want and rotate them to place.
No biggie but a fast way to move letters in the place you want.
you don't need to draw the circle, it can be any shape, it was just to explain how I do it if a name has to be put circular.
Hope it helps a bit
Rob

Creating round shapes: I do adjust to the amount of segments in relation to the amount of letters in some cases to better adjust the letter space!
Setting the letters I use rotate over y. make each letter object is needed.







LOL! just found out this is what Andy means 17:33 slow brain at 53
