abmames Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Is there a plugin for creating text that follows a path created by the user? I understand how to arch text. That isn't working for my project. I need to plot a path and let the text follow it. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Don't think they have exactly what you want. There is a plugin called text formations. You may have to do it manually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 @dpy has created a number of text plugins (Rotate, Spiral, Wave & Circle...,). You may have to use a combination of these to adjust your text to a specific path.

yellowman Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It depends how simple is the path, if it is like a wavy line, then Gravity plugin works but it will keep the text vertical ( do not rotate each letter individually along the curve) What I mean is somthing like this: Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plonky Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi I am trying to get some text to follow a line using the gravity effect but I have no idea how to use it. Does the text need to be a certain colour? Or does the line I want the text to follow need to be a certain colour? Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowman Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 You need to work on 100% transparent layer and fill what is underneath the line, use any colors, it doesn't matter: Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
