Hi resort-sand,

Thanks for the files, and for using WeTransfer.

To get it smaller and smaller requires that the Length and the height of the words shrink equally. Which would also move them. This is not an option with MoGraph.

My suggestion would be to solve this with 3D and perspective.

The setup has a little "cheat" with a Taper Deformer to improve the flow.

To see the full text, it needs to be rendered. The small text on the end requires at least a 16K render, I assume more.

The setup is a balance of camera distance, the field of view, and the Length of the Helix. The light on the camera has no falloff!

My best wishes for the project

Hi resort-sand,

I hope that helps to find your settings.

Enjoy

Hi resort-sand,

Is this helping?

He adjusted it slightly differently, but this looks like what you ask for.

Here is an example, with a different approach:

Hi resort-sand,

Thanks for the update. The Property Transfer Manager can work with local coordinates, but the object axis needs to be oriented in a matching way and be object-based. In other words, all points relate to the object axis. If the Object axis is not set up comparably, the local transfer will not work in a matching way.

When I read Rotomotion and similar geo, may I assume that the object is textured and the texture is the same on both, or at least would if applied?

If so, a grayscale image could store the selection inside the Point Selection applied via Shader Field—just a thought.

Excuse my curiosity here: What I miss, not having seen the setup, is that you have the geos; what is the obstacle to not using the data to match their positions, etc?

As usual, having a file here, even just a proxy resembling the problem, I might support you in a better way. (If it is over. 1MB, it won't take thec4d file, then please use Dropbox, Google, Apple, Adobe, Wetransfer as cloud service only, no tiny-URL, for security reasons, thank you)

My best wishes for the project

Have a great Sunday as well, resort-sand.

Thank you very much for your feedback. 🙂

My best wishes for your project.

Hi resort-sand,

Sorry about the many steps. When I find something faster, I will add this here.

I explored how to do it with Simulation, perhaps with very high Sticky values, e.g., 100 (Rope and Collider both need to be sticky). You might get something.

Enjoy your Sunday
