Bending a customized 3D letter in a specific portion

[ARexplore]

Hi. I want to bend a customized 3D letter S at a certain portion without distorting it. Ive tried several times but most of my efforts came out bad. Any advice on which plugin to use or how to use it?

Can you post a model of what you have to start with? Or at least an image of what you are trying to achieve?

Its like this. it swirls like a snake or a vine but the upper part of the s goes forward making the upper part of the post not seen
