text on a path in swift3D

[Jon Roobottom]

Hi,

I know I should've asked this question in the Swift 3d forum, but it's like a ghost town in there, so this is close enough.

Anywho, i'm trying to create text on a path so I can curve my 3d text & logo round a globe. Anyone know how, cos i'm stuck with this one.

Okay, so it's cheesey, but you just can't argue with some clients.

Please find attached both the t3d and the fla for this.

THANKS!!!

you mean Swift3D and not Swish like your title, right?

*edit* I've changed it for you.

What version of Swift3D do you have? That's gonna be the first question.

[Jon Roobottom]

yeah, thanks! you see how confused it's got me? arrrgghhhh!!!



Oh, and it's swish, I mean, Swift 3D version 4.

I've yet to download your file - I'm on the Mac, and it's still at v3 at the moment... but you do know that Swift3D v4 does have path animations, right?

You could animate text on that path. Just a thought.

i've seen this done before with v3. have a look at the tutorials over at www.swiftdev.com

[Jon Roobottom]

yeah, they've got just the tutorial i'm looking for, except it's broken! typical.
