There are many tutorials where we can see how to make a text orbiting some other object. Here is an example of the text rotating around the sphere. My question is - how to make exactly the same, but with the text longer than could fit on the circle around the object?
For an example, let's say we have the text: 'Marry Xmas and a happy New Year!' (or a much longer message). Because the whole text cannot fit on the circle, only a shorter substring can take place on the circle at some point in time:
Marry Xmas and a ha
arry Xmas and a hap
rry Xmas and a happ
ry Xmas and a happy
etc.
There would, of course, be a discontinuity in the text on the (continuous) circle - but it would be hidden behind the object.
I could imagine making a path in the shape of the ribbon long enough to hold the whole text, and the discontinued part of the ribbon hidden behind the object so it would look like the desired - but I wonder if there is a way to scroll such long text over the closed circular path.
