I want to make text follow a path, in this case a circle. I need this text to be dynamic, as the user will be choosing one of the words in the text.
Is there a way to make text go in a circle?
In addition, it would be great to be able to make text move along custom paths, 2D or 3D, similar to illustrator or Cinema 4D
What system are you using?
Have you downloaded the latest version of Lens Studio?
Is this issue causing Lens Studio to crash?

this is what I mean, text in a circle like this, but I want the user to be able to choose their own text
Hey Edwon
I was also wondering how to do a circular text. Last time i tried it didnt worked. Maybe Lensstudio can add this in further updates.

You can try a Text Texture. You add it in the resources panel rather than the objects panel (where text objects and screen text are added). There isn't an option for inserting dynamic text through the Lens Studio UI, but you can do it with a script (see here https://support.lensstudio.snapchat.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360073139152-Programmatically-setting-text-of-Text-Texture).
The Text Texture converts your text into an image, so if where you want to place your text is a 3D object, you could probably setup the UV map such that the Text Texture will curve. I haven't tried it personally, but it seems like it might work.
Hey Mike,
I didnt knew about this technique until now. Thank you very much for telling! :D
