Hi,
I have had Xara 3D designer some time and a member here for awhile. I wish to have text orbit an object. There wes a long time ago demonstration on achieving it but I can't find it..any help appreciated

Thanks for the link..but that is not the one I was after...the one I was after was similar to the
Warner bros log rotating text. Me just getting to old to remember where to find it LOL

not sure you can do this in xara 3d, see this thread:

Yes that is the idea I am after. Now how is it accomplished but with a different object to replace the world? Pllease
Thank you

having read through Mike Sims' tutorial that Fred linked, I dare say it could be adapted for text provided that the text was rotating on the same axis as his globe; it would be a lot of work; I only understand in principle what he is saying, no way would I attempt it in xara 3D; that said it would only work for rotating the text, not rotating text around something I am pretty sure xara3D does not do that, but willing as ever to be proven wrong [ED IT: see my next post

I wish to thank all who participated in this post. I had done it 5-7 years ago and since then have upgraded Windows Xara and
hard rives seem to have lost the files.
Getting on in years and memory is going for a shit...
But thanks to all the help was greatly appreciated..
