  Aline Letters Words on a curve/spline

  Posted by Thomas Frank on May 28, 2010 at 8:39 pm

  Hey,

  how do I aline letters or words on a spline so thy are nice and even also offset them in Y axes?
  I used the Spline Effector with Text out of the MoGraph. But it does not line the letters nicely on the curve and no freedom to offset them.
  OR I am over looking something?

  Thanks!

  i will send you an example of a rifle i am modeling minus the textures, so ignore texture errors but you can use the example. on one part of the scope i used spline wrap to get the numbers on the power adjust. it’s a plenty good example and works. it’s under “scope/text for power knob, in the hierarchy . to tell the “mograph spline wrap” which circle to use just drag the circle from the objects manager into the “spline” under the spline wrap object.then its just a matter of rotating the axis of the extrude nurbs and the spline wrap, using the scale tool to get the circle spline to get your diameter, and changing the “offset” and “from” in the spline wrap object to get the look you want. just look at the cd4 file it’s easier to explain.
