Reference Images
« on: April 28, 2008, 10:49:16 pm »
Hi,

I made a logo in another program that I wanted to make a 3D model of.  However, whenever I add the image as a reference image, it has a white background around it.  I've saved the image with an alpha channel, however.  Is there a way to have only the text without the background?  Thanks.

P.S. I'd make the logo in Anim8or, but I'm using some download text, so that whenever I fill the text, it makes parts of it disappear.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Not sure about the reference image question.  For the text filling issue, make sure you join the splines before filling, especially make certain to join inside and outside splines togother.  For example, for a letter "A", select both the outline of the A and the little triangle in the middle, and select Join Splines.  When you fill them now the holes should not disappear.

Last year,a user asked if he could use a targa image with an alpha
channel as a reference image.I made a suggestion that seemed
to help.Maybe it could be helpful to you.
