I need to = create a "beam of data" shooting up in to the sky. The trick is that I = need the text to spiral around the beam as though the beam is made, in = part, by the text itself which could be up to 100 words. Adding to the = complexity, I need it to be 3D as I will be compositing it on top of C4D = renders.
