Hi,

I’m trying to bend text into a circle. I want the text to be standing up and then to spin the camera around the outside of the text.

Is there anyway I can bend the text in swift 3d into a circle or do I need to produce each letter seperately and then rotate and position?

Or, can I import the bent (circular) text from another application then 3d ify it in swift 2.0 ?

Thanks

Forsen

HI,

You can attach text to any path in Illustrator and then export to Swift. Thanks.
