Hello,

I want to make a text on a cylinder. Does anyone know a script to do this?

Thanks a lot!

  Read the documentation about the object pattern and cylindrical warp.
That should get you started.

-- 
#macro N(D)#if(D>99)cylinder{M()#local D=div(D,104);M().5,2pigment{rgb M()}}
N(D)#end#end#macro M()<mod(D,13)-6mod(div(D,13)8)-3,10>#end blob{
N(11117333955)N(4254934330)N(3900569407)N(7382340)N(3358)N(970)}//  - Warp -

I'm very sorry but your macro doesn't work. I want to make a text-object
(3D-text) on a cylinder.

Thanks!!

I have no script. But i did this as follows:

1. create your cylinder
2. create a second cylinder with r=r1+0.0001
3. create your text on the right position
4. put your text and the cylinder from 2. together
   with intersection{}

  Uh? Which macro?

-- 
#macro N(D)#if(D>99)cylinder{M()#local D=div(D,104);M().5,2pigment{rgb M()}}
N(D)#end#end#macro M()<mod(D,13)-6mod(div(D,13)8)-3,10>#end blob{
N(11117333955)N(4254934330)N(3900569407)N(7382340)N(3358)N(970)}//  - Warp -

  This will not bend the text, so it will not work.

  Just believe me: What you want is to make an object pattern with the
text object and then apply a cylindrical warp to it.
  The other solution will not bend the text. This will.

#macro M(A,N,D,L)plane{-z,-9pigment{mandel L*9translate N color_map{[0rgb x]
[1rgb 9]}scale<D,D*3D>*1e3}rotate y*A*8}#end M(-3<1.206434.28623>70,7)M(

I suspect J Tellings thought your signature was the solution to his/her
problem. Some newsreaders probably don't make the signature stand out
as something separate from the body of the message. I'm only guessing
though.
