This is for production.
Particles give a nice procedural approach, where I can easily control spacing, speed and most important: number of words. If this fails I'll fallback to deformers, but that's not iteration friendly path :)

Is this for learning purposes, or production? You can technically achieve that with the regular bend deformer in Maya, and if that’s not enough, you could also create a joint chain per vertex (or even approximately) and simply rotate them all along one axis, and if that’s not enough you could also bend-deform or joint deform a regular poly cylinder (or even a plane), and wrap deform your text to that.

        This should get you there:
        
https://github.com/BigRoy/maya-matrix-deformers/blob/master/matrix_deform/nodes/matrixBend.py

        Note that this is also calculating an actual rotational value
        along with it which isn't needed if you're doing pure
        point/vertex deformation.

        Why do you need a custom implementation? :)


    Thanks!

    I want to create animation with particles and instancing and bend
    words with displacement shader.
