Text alignment? Circle-text?
I am modeling the symbol of the "Departure of Precrime" from Minority Report.
Therefor I need to know, how I can model a text aound a circle. The Letters "Departure of Precrime - Destrict of Columbia" have to follow the red arrow in the picture below.
Please help me!
Thanx,
Markuz

That's the only way I can think of... you could try to use deformers, perhaps, such as the bend deformer, but I don't think it would bend it in a complete circle and not warp the text some. The only other thing I can think of, is to perhaps create the text, make it all one object, attach it to a motion path, make it flow path object and see if it looks right...

You can see the final result in the "Finished Work" Section...
And please tell me if you know the original font
