I am A newbie to carrara.I have been trying to figure out how to curve A line of text in the spline modeler.I noticed that in the tutorial they have A object with curved text. Do I have to place each letter on the curve? I thought that I could grab the handles and the text would curve,but I can't even see the bezier handles.

Create the text and place it in your scene..Then use a Modifier like Bend on the Text Object. Should work... Clint

Clint, Thank you for your help. I did what you told me and I got it to work. It didn't have the correct modifier in the program, at least everyone I tried wouldn't bend it the way that I wanted. so in the properties tray I picked bend and twist. then put in twist angle 0 ,bend angle 90,Axsis 90,limits 0-100, on axis X. So it worked! Thanks again. :)
