Pixel Joint Forum: Double Helix 3D magic

Message

   Okay, guys, I need help. See, my brother wants a new tattoo, and he caught wind of the fact that I'm on the computer 24/6, so he asked if I could arrange some text into a double helix (DNA-like) so he could have himself stabbed with little needles with ink in them.
THE PROBLEM: I don't do 3d text well, and can't seem to find a program that has the capabilities to spiral text in the needed fashion. So I'm asking for either the name of a program (free) that CAN do it, or the name of someone WITH a program that can do it that might be gracious enough to take time out of their day to make it for him.
That would be awesome. Help if ye can, please.

	if i had time i would do itfor you, research sine waves, what yo need is sine waves going vertically and having opposite peaks. I might have time, are you on a Mackentush or a Windoughs? Edited by Pixel_Outlaw

	Sab. I use Swift3D which creates 3D text, PM me the text and I'll throw it together as a base you can draw from
