      Anyone got any ideas of how to make text follow a curve in Isadora? It looked possible using the mesh projector actor but maybe there is a simpler way. Hopefully not rotating very letter individually!

          No, stopped smoking! I was looking for something a bit more controllable and wavy. Found a quartz plugin for bezier curves but it didn't work, did that thing where random bits of your desktop appear on the stage. Come to think of it maybe that is a cropping issue. I'll have another look.

            You could try my bezier surface actor.

              Well I was imagining making a kind of rollercoaster of text and your bezier surface actor doesn't really do that.

              But it is very good fun and your other actors look good too!
              Thanks

                Definitely not the most elegant solution but if you can't figure anything else out, you could just use a few of Bezier Surface actors and split and crop the video coming out of the text actor to make it flow across them.

                  Hi, What about using a 3d object and replacing the texture with your text in isadora? Mehdi

                      @gavspav maybe go with an izzi map grid layer and send it to a virtual stage?
