So let's go ahead and navigate to our project file. And in your exercise files folder if you have it, go to chapter two, and then go to 02_02_Title_Ribbon, and we'll double click that. And you'll see, just like I did in the last video, I already created a ribbon spline, it's right here. I'll rotate this around so you can see, that it has a little bit of 3D depth to it. And our title ribbon made from a plain object. You see see that we have, high width segments so it's prepped and ready to go for when we apply it to this spline back here.
