: How can I "type on path" in Cinema4d like I can do in (eg) Illustrator? We all know you can "type on path" in Adobe's Illustrator like this: Now, I would like to do the same in Maxon's

Here are two tutorials using a spline as a rail guide:

Easy, assuming you have Illustrator handy.


Create what you're after in Illustrator.
Select the text and convert it to outlines (from memory, it's Type > Create Outlines, or command-shift-O).
Export the document into a format Cinema 4D can read. SVG should do the trick.


You're done!
