This is a nice effect I saw in a shopping window: a 3D text decorated with golden rings!
I have used the letter O of Arial to create the rings.

Hallo michiel, many thanks for this example.:))

Hello Michiel, interesting concept! Can this be turned into an effect that can be used on a template?
IntroChamp, 10 years ago
When you change the text you have to reposition all the rings by hand.
Just like you will have to do with those sweets:

So to answer your question: no, this effect must be filed under non-templatable.

Just seen this great effect. Scrolled down hoping someone had asked how it was done - but no! So it must be obvious...
Please put me out of my misery ;-)

Every ring is a text layer (using the letter O) positioned and rotated by hand using the TEXT POSITION and TEXT ROTATION properties.
This takes a lot of time and it has to be done again from the start everytime you change the text so maybe I have to disappoint you that there's no magic button that automagically decorates your text with rings...

Thanks Michiel. I guess I'll have to try it, but I can't see how the layering works? How can a ring be behind AND in front of the text?
