    Is this complicated, or am I making it complicated?

    I have text that is meant to slide off of a package, and resolve in a roundel. The complication is the flip of the geometry (with adjusted art on the red side), otherwise, one of the words is upside down and backwards.

    Is there a simpler way than the convolution I’ve created? (the red & blue materials are for visualization.)

    Hi Jurgen, if you remove the Rail (which is causing the twist as its not a clean spline) and just set your text material to show on the FRONT rather than the BACK it should work correctly.

    Thanks Dave. The problem without the twist is that the word ‘promise’ is upside down. The other thing that is happening is that the texture seems to be locked and backwards in the c4d file.

    Is spline wrap the wrong approach to take?

      Spline wrap is perfect for this kind of thing but your text needing to flip adds some complication. You could just flip the letters within the texture itself as an animated image sequence so as it goes into place the letters are subtly rotated

      If things are reversed, you can flip your texture or reverse the spline
