Date Updated:

Installation: Scripting, Install Max Creation Graph...

at last...put your text on path with absolutely no warping, distortion whatsoever...unlike the PathDeform. What's more...it works for multi curves...but wait there's more...it works for any font including Right to Left languages...but waaaaiiiiit...there's still more, it can reverse your text in a jiffy too...and yes there's still more it's an environment friendly MCG too...it recycles your text !!!!!!!

ver 1.01: Reverse your text even quicker...just hit the Reverse button !!!

Of course, you can use it on other mesh than Text...say your train set....compare the difference below..no warping/distortion like PathDeform....it's good to be stiff !!!

ver 1.02: added Z Offset and No Recycling option

MCG TRAINING VIDS?

Hey vusta, it's very generous of you to provide these very useful MCG tools. I noticed about 99% of MCGs on the site are from you. Seems there is a serious lack of knowledge on the use of MCG still.
Have you considered creating MCG training materials even if it's going to be paid for

ahh found it....

your object should be properly centred.

So centre your pivot to centre of object, then ResetXform and collapse stack, then it will be right...
