tried doing it but just couldn’t get a smooth setup unfortunately I think any of the methods described could work with either properly made geometry or probably with a better knowhow of a few different concepts but I’m just not there yet. Someone on blender stack exchange helped me out with a geonodes setup although it’s pretty noodley and confusing for somoene with not so much geonodes experience. Will have to do some more geonodes courses. see attatched. I think if I combine all my paths together and find a way to tell the node setup what order to run through the letters then it will work. Credit to Chris Patton for his help with this.
