Hey I'm not on here, so I apologise if I miss out on any sort of post etiquette.
I'm having a trouble with creating what I think should be a pretty simple composition. I just want to have some text along a circular path which rotates. It's going to be projects from the top down onto a table, so the base of the text has to be on the outside of the circle. To do this I'm using an *Image with String* patch going to an *Image Transform*, which then goes to the *Circular Wrap Distortion* patch and finally to a *Sprite*, which is being rotated by an *Interpolation* patch. the problem comes in, i think, with the I*mage Transform* or *Circular Warp Distortion* patches. Normally when I hover over any of the image links (I'm not sure what the proper name for them is) it shows me what the image should look like. However when I try to do things with some of them this hover behaviour stops occurring. I've included a copy of my file. The top two *Sprites* are using real images, and shows sort of what I want it to look like. Below that is a sprite getting info from an *Image With String* which for some reason cuts the text out at a quarter of the circumference (when I flip it using Scaling X and Y as -1). Finally the fourth *Sprite* is an example of the image disappearing at a random place. (It seems that the image transform is getting the image, but when I set it to rotate 180 it doesn't seem to have an output). I've tried a few other things, such as putting an *Image Crop* on after the *Circular Wrap Distortion*, but that didn't seem to fix it. Does anyone have any suggestions about what would be causing these wonky image effects? Thanks Mike Brand
