  • Spline Wrap without mograph. how?

    Posted by Randal Radabaugh on December 6, 2010 at 8:43 pm

    Hello,

    Am wanting to do a spline wrap of text on a circle spline.
    Example, the Universal film logo.

    I do not have Mograph. C4d R10.
    So question is can A spline wrap be done without Mograph?
    what tags or tools?
    Cannot find anything so far on it.It is all Mograph.

    Is there a way to set spline to a path and apply the text?

    or do I got to do as they say, if you don’t have it, get it?

    And many Thanks to all here at COW for being helpful.

    You could use a bend or wrap deformer. For more complex path deformation you could buy the Path Deformer plugin: https://www.tarabella.it/c4dbeta/plugin_detail.php?Id_plugin=18

    thanks Adam.

    Quik peek at that deformer looked interesting.

    Do some nice text effects with that.

    For any future viewers I discovered a way.

    To wrap text without Mograph.
    Make your spline
    Make a text spline for each letter.
    Select all letters and go to functions, arrange.
    Mode: along Spline
    Drag your spline into first line spline.

    arranges letters onto spline.

    kept seeing refers to illustrator to make a path with text.
    So I guess you could use AI to make a text wrap spline then put into c4d and extrude.

    Ah, I thought you were wanting to deform the text along a spline because that’s what the splineWrap deformer does.
