circular 3d text

Can somebody help me,

I like to make a circular 3D text .
I am really a newbe so creating the text was no problem.
But to put it in 3D and transform it to a circular shape seems a hard problem for me.

Thx in advance

Here are two possible options depending on what effect you need.

For just a simple arc, the non-linear deformer should work well (top curve).

If it has to follow path thats a little more complicted. Attach the text to a motion path then create a flow path out that. On the flow, path, make sure the lattice follows the curve (bottom curve).

Good luck!
