Yeah it’s a bit more complicated than it might seem. The easiest way would be to use a spline wrap but that will distort the text a bit which you probably don’t want.

Hey mate, just sent an email over with an update to your project file

Hi Jurgen, I’m off for Easter till Tuesday, but I’ll have a look and get back to you then, sounds like you need a guide spline and need to set the spline points to uniform so its even and the speed will remain constant as your object travels along the speed – you could take a look at the box rolling tutorial where I discuss something similar

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

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

Hey all,

Love seeing everyone’s input on this—great perspectives all around!

Like I mentioned earlier, all three (Redshift, Octane, Arnold) are solid options and work in very similar ways, so switching between them isn’t too tough if the need ever comes up.

Personally, I made the switch to Redshift mainly because:

• It’s fast (on par with…

No worries, did you get it working?

I think I cover a bit of animation in the course, the essential tools anyway so you should be covered

Hey Sam,

It sounds like your Picture Viewer might be showing an old frame or rendering from a different take. Try these steps:

1. Check Render Range, Frame Settings & FPS

   • In Render Settings, make sure:
     • Frame Range is set to Current Frame (if rendering a single frame).
     • The frame number matches what you expect.
     • Your Scene FPS (Project Settings:…
