Spline Shader Text
Just a little reminder about the "Spline Shader".
You can make a texture with a text from within Cinema4d in just a few seconds.

Follow up:
Cinema4d includes a very handy shader called "Spline".
It allows you to make a texture with any given spline.
And it also allows you to make a texture with text and that can be very useful.
Here are all the possible settings of the shader. I used color for the letters and the background but any shader will do.

Enjoy playing around with it.
BTW: The text can be also be defined in xpresso so you can show frame numbers or any other kind of information.
