SPLINES

Helium lets you extrude along a spline path, perfect for animated text or similar applications. Using one of their preset extrude paths and built-in materials, artists can customise a really nice output. With an animated offset the extruded spline becomes dynamic and appears before the viewer over time. This works well for bringing motion into your scenes.
