Hello Stefan and everyone!

This time I'm going to show you certainly nothing "never seen" or "new" or "special" but maybe a reminder of what we can do thanks with the "Flow" command, especially regardin my beloved "2D workflows" involving Moi and (not in this case) Affinity Designer.

I will play with a simple "Text curve" created with the "Text" command.
You can use any font.

The.3dm test file: http://take.ms/2BAlw

The video tutorial: http://take.ms/wzB6z



In the first part of the video I will use only simple curves, open and closed.
As you will see if we use a "closed" destination curve, sometimes we need to apply first the "Flip" command on the destination curve to get the correct result.

In the final part of the video I will show you some simple scenario with more complex deformations.
In that case I will not apply the "Flow" command directly on the source "Text" curve but on its "3D" counterpart.
I don in this way otherwise I will not get the correct result.

Then I will use the deformed 3D objesct to extract the resulting text curves.

Remember these two things when you have to play with the "Flow" command using surfaces for both "source" and "destination":

1) The "topology" of the surfaces.

2) We will get better results if we work on "trimmed" surfaces using the "ShrinktrimmedSrf" command.


I hope I made myself clear enough with these simple example :)
You can text on you r own more complex things.

Ciao!
