Can anyone point me to a Plasticity tutorial for curving text?

I've seen a handful of tutorials (including the Pixel Fondue) for bending text using project curve to curve, but if I'm on a flat plane, and I just want to arc the text around the line curve, is there a way to project it that I haven't encountered?

I've seen (what felt like) a way to place it on an unwrapped face and then deform it back, but (and I could just be wrong here) that felt like the wrong set of steps so I didn't pursue it.

Thanks in advance for any help at all!

I had an idea to make a (fairly useless) vase when watching some old episodes of M.M's Prop Shop on Youtube where she has the death star hallway pattern behind her. I've been playing around with it in OpenSCAD between projects, but I think it's finally okay enough to release.

It's open source, open hardware, requires no AMS or supports to print, and you can parametrically customize height, outer diameter, wall thickness, the height (and style) of the death star greeble pattern, and uhhhh, despite being the worst design possible for a flower vase, I think it's actually kind of neat.

I don't think it'll win, but I entered it into @Mafagrafos' home decor design contest.

Check it out on Makerworld and let me know if you have any problems, or open a PR on Github if you're good at OpenSCAD (and seriously, if you know anything about OpenSCAD then you're better than me.)

Less thorough than the French-speaking gentleman, but I think this has enough detail to answer a lot of questions
